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.

A method for solving various infinite medium and half-space multigroup transport problems with anisotropic transfer is presented. A set of eigensolutions for the homogeneous multigroup equations is obtained and is shown to have “full-range” completeness and orthogonality properties. These properties then can be used to solve for the infinite medium Green's function. Half-space problems are solved in two distinct steps. First, the emergent distribution is calculated. Then, application of the full-range completeness property gives the complete solution everywhere in the half-space. The success of this method implies that the eigensolutions also possess a “half-range” completeness property.
