California’s only operating nuclear power plant, Diablo Canyon, announced plans last month to use artificial intelligence systems to keep it running, sparking questions regarding the use of AI in such advanced facilities.
In November, Diablo Canyon’s operator, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, said it would be partnering with California-based nuclear AI company Atomic Canyon to build AI systems, called Neutron Enterprise, within the nuclear plant. These systems are expected to be used to sort through millions of documents to create plans for the facility to meet licensing requirements and assist with regulatory planning in the coming years.
