AI at work: Southern Nuclear’s adoption of Copilot agents drives fleet forward
Southern Nuclear is leading the charge in artificial intelligence integration, with employee-developed applications driving efficiencies in maintenance, operations, safety, and performance.
The tools span all roles within the company, with thousands of documented uses throughout the fleet, including improved maintenance efficiency, risk awareness in maintenance activities, and better-informed decision-making. The data-intensive process of preparing for and executing maintenance operations is streamlined by leveraging AI to put the right information at the fingertips for maintenance leaders, planners, schedulers, engineers, and technicians.

The detritiation system using the hydrogen-oxidizing microorganism isolated from the sandy loam soil was developed, which is designed to remove HT in a gas phase. Silicone hollow-fiber-membrane tubes was used to separate gas phase and liquid phase in which microorganisms are cultured. HT in the gas phase diffuses through the tube membrane to the liquid phase, oxidized to HTO and retained in the liquid phase. Detritiation system showed rapid and complete removal of HT mixed in the room air of atmospheric H2 concentration.
