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.

Cable-in-conduit superconductors are considered as a conductor for future helical devices. A cable-in-conduit superconductor consists of multi-strand cable and conduit. The stability of multi-strand superconducting cable is investigated in consideration of the current redistribution between strands. We studied basically the current redistribution phenomena in two-strand cable by experiment, and have developed the numerical method to simulate the current redistribution phenomena of the cable. As a result of a numerical analysis, it was found that the current redistribution phenomena depend on coolant conditions. In this paper, effects of the coolant condition on the current redistribution phenomena and the stability of the superconducting cable will be discussed.
