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.
Keynotes Session
Wednesday, August 23, 2023|8:00–8:50AM EDT|Columbia 5-8
Session Chair:
Igor Bolotnov (NCSU)
Dr. Nam Dinh is a professor of nuclear engineering at North Carolina State University. Prior to NCSU, Dr. Dinh was a chair professor of nuclear power safety at Sweden’s Royal Institute of Technology, and a Laboratory Fellow at the Idaho National Laboratory. Professor Dinh research in nuclear reactor thermal hydraulics contributed to severe accident management in LWRs and ALWS plants. Professor Dinh's current research is focused on data-driven modeling and validation of advanced simulation codes, applications of machine learning and artificial intelligence in nuclear reactor engineering and safety. He is a Fellow of the American Nuclear Society (ANS) and a recipient of the ANS Thermal-Hydraulics Division’s Technical Achievement Award.
