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.

Tritium release behavior through structural material in the presence of molten lithium-lead alloy (Li17Pb83) was studied in TREXMAN program. Tritium permeation ratio to the secondary carrier gas line depends strongly upon H2 pressure in He sweep gas of the primary and the secondary carrier gas lines. It increased with increasing H2 pressure below 104 Pa and above the value it became constant. An analytical model was applied to the experimental data on the tritium release to obtain the mass transfer coefficient.
