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 analysis of two 91Zr neutron transmission experiments performed some years ago at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and Geel electron Linacs showed systematic discrepancy in the resonance neutron width estimation. The two sets of data are comprehensively reanalyzed by a shape least-squares method that builds up a single system of normal equations. An accurate resolution function description was obtained by Monte Carlo calculation of the moderation and detection contributions. The two experiments are found to be in complete agreement and a single set of resonance neutron widths is obtained.
