Balancing Innovation and Safety
©2025 Nuclear Energy Institute 2 RISK OR OPPORTUNITY?
Leveraging AI in the Nuclear Industry
©2025 Nuclear Energy Institute 3 LEARNING FASTER AND WORKING SMARTER
Current licensee near-term use cases focus on supporting and enhancing engineering and decision making
Augmenting and enabling staff is the focus; not focused on eliminating the human in the loop Immediate Value of AI in Nuclear
©2025 Nuclear Energy Institute 4 EMPOWERING THE NEXT GENERATION Accelerating Knowledge Management
Enabled by the industry and plant-specific body of knowledge
Access to the right information at the right time for the right task
Formats that speak to the learner (e.g., formal training, on-demand training, podcasts, interactive learning, videos, knowledge assessment, etc.)
Assesses the gaps in a learners knowledge and adapts in real time

Compares submittal content versus requirements to identify deltas that require review
Assesses which parts of the application align directly with items that have already been accepted
Provides insights to right-size the reviews given the novel information and safety significance

Responsible use of AI will be transformative for the industry
Large spectrum of applications of AI within the nuclear industry While some applications will require NRC review and approval, many will not
Transparent communication, operating experience, and lessons learned from early, non-regulated applications
Strong commitment to robust and adaptable framework for regulatory review and approval when required Final Thoughts The gap between those that know how to use AI and those that do not know how will never be smaller than it is right now We can take advantage of this huge opportunity together
