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 method of singular eigenfunction expansions is applied to time-independent one-speed problems in which there are two half-space media which scatter neutrons anisotropically. Integrals are derived which reduce the calculation of the expansion coefficients to the solution of a non-singular integral equation plus associated coupled equations. In general, none of the expansion coefficients are found in closed form.
