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 Intermediate Resonance (IR) formulation of resonance absorption is extended to the temperature-dependent case by obtaining an explicit expression for the IR parameters as a function of temperature. Use is made of the tabulated J functions. The resonance integral is given in terms of a temperature-dependent J function as a function of a temperature-dependent IR parameter and represents the complete generalization of the IR formulation to the temperature-dependent case. The temperature-dependent solutions obtained are similar in analytic form to the zero-temperature solutions and they reduce to the latter in the limit of zero temperature. They also yield the correct narrow or wide resonance limits for all temperatures. The formulation using temperature-dependent IR parameters not only gives accurate temperature-dependent resonance integrals, but also gives reasonably accurate Doppler coefficients.
