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.

Implantation-driven permeation (IDP) behavior of deuterium implanted with low energy (100–1800 eV) into 304 stainless steel has been studied. The experimental results showed that steady state permeation fluxes of deuterium through 304 SS decreased significantly with increasing the D+ ion from 100 through 1000 eV, while those above 1000 eV little depended on the energy. The energy dependence of the permeation flux observed would be attributed to change of the rate-determining regime of the permeation process depending on the incident ion energy.
