California's last nuclear power plant has turned to AI to solve its big paperwork problem
"In September 2022, PG&E received unexpected news from the state: Gov. Gavin Newsom had signed SB 846 into law, extending the nuclear power plant's operations through October 2030."
"Zawalick said she saw value in turning to AI to streamline PG&E's paperwork process, especially with deadlines for regulatory applications approaching."
"Together, PG&E and Atomic Canyon created the first-ever commercial installation of an on-site generative AI tool at a US nuclear power plant."
"The AI tool, called Neutron, was designed to make it easier for Diablo Canyon's workers to find and use the millions of documents that are legally required to be kept on file."
Pacific Gas and Electric planned to close the Diablo Canyon Power Plant by 2025 but received an extension to 2030. To manage regulatory paperwork efficiently, PG&E partnered with Atomic Canyon to develop an AI tool named Neutron. This tool assists workers in navigating the extensive documentation required in the tightly regulated nuclear sector. The collaboration aims to reduce administrative burdens and improve operational efficiency at the plant, which is located near fault lines and water, raising environmental concerns.
