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.

Technical Paper | RELAP/MOD2 / Heat Transfer and Fluid Flow | doi.org/10.13182/NT90-A34399
Articles are hosted by Taylor and Francis Online.
Assessment of the RELAP5/MOD2 code on the basis of experiments performed in a pressurized water reactor simulator, the LOBI/MOD2 facility at the European Research Center of Ispra in Italy is reported. In particular, significant experience gained in the analysis of two small-break loss-of-coolant accidents (tests A2-81 and A1-83), a steam generator tube rupture (test BL-21), a natural circulation (test A2-77A), and four transients (tests A2-90, BT-00, BT-01, and BT-03) is discussed.
