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 excitation function for the reaction 115In(n,n′)115mIn was measured by the activation technique from threshold up to 4.1 MeV in 0.1-MeV steps. The absolute normalization of this excitation function has been performed at 2.1 MeV and is based on n-p scattering. The total uncertainty of the results is typically ±6% above 1 MeV. The results are in good agreement with recently published data.
