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.

Measurements of the energy spectra of delayed neutrons for the isotope-separated, fission product precursors 93-97Rb and 143-145Cs, over the energy region from ∼10 to ∼1300 keV, are reported. These data were obtained at the TRISTAN ISOL facility using gas-filled proton-recoil proportional counters. The data for each of the rubidium and cesium isotopes show good qualitative agreement with the existing 3He ionization chamber data at energies above ∼200 keV. In addition, they provide definitive spectral information down to ∼10 keV. Of particular note is the observation of line structure below ∼200 keV with energy resolution much better than that obtained using 3He ionization chambers.
