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.

A method of forming one-dimensional networks that are equivalent to two-dimensional wave propagations with fluid-structure interactions was developed. The method was verified by analysis of the simple shaker for a computational experiment by the use of the MULTIPLEX code for one-dimensional hydraulics with fluid-structure interactions. By applying the method of network formation, the Fritz-Kiss experiment was subsequently analyzed. In the latter case, the computed in-water frequency was 17.39 Hz, in good agreement with the measured value, 17.0 Hz. Thus, the MULTIPLEX code was verified for analyses of two-dimensional systems with application of the network model.
