Division Spotlight
Accelerator Applications
The division was organized to promote the advancement of knowledge of the use of particle accelerator technologies for nuclear and other applications. It focuses on production of neutrons and other particles, utilization of these particles for scientific or industrial purposes, such as the production or destruction of radionuclides significant to energy, medicine, defense or other endeavors, as well as imaging and diagnostics.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become an increasingly hot topic over the last few years, with use cases across industries. In this session, our panelists will delve into how the nuclear industry can take advantage of generative and non-generative AI to increase operational efficiencies, achieve cost savings, and deliver on the Nuclear Promise. Come hear how utilities are leveraging AI for 50.69 categorization and licensing innovation, developing word language models to support drafting evaluations and smart search capabilities, and strategic planning for adapting AI in a nuclear fleet. In addition, our panelists will discuss their own best practices for achieving site leadership buy-in to utilize AI in their plants. Come hear how utilities are developing word language models trained on a vast array of Nuclear documents for specific applications, utilizing AI for 50.69 licensing innovation, conducting strategic planning for adapting AI in a nuclear fleet, and Developing Large Language Model (LLM) based generative AI solutions to assist in regulator paperwork related to nuclear power plants. In addition, our panelists will discuss their own best practices for addressing common challenges related to AI.
