California's only remaining nuclear power plant plans to use artificial intelligence tools to help it comply with new licensing requirements to keep the decades-old facility running.

The Diablo Canyon power plant will soon use artificial intelligence to manage its archives and schedule maintenance, marking the first commercial deployment of generative AI at a nuclear facility. The move is the latest example of the growing intersection ...

Diablo Canyon gets nifty new tech to … speed up document retrieval? A California startup is deploying what it says is the first commercial installation of generative AI at a US nuclear power plant, but don't get too excited (or worried) about what it's going to be doing quite yet – it's a pretty run-of-the-mill use in an enterprise environment.

The Biden administration released the document on Tuesday, but with President-elect Donald Trump heading back into the White House, there’s no telling whether the plan will ever become a reality. That said, the nuclear industry has gained a fair amount of bipartisan support — not to mention buy-in from big tech.

Nuclear power accounts for 20% of total energy generation in the US but has become more popular in recent years.

Under a road map being unveiled Tuesday, the U.S. would deploy an additional 200 gigawatts of nuclear energy capacity by midcentury through the construction of new reactors, plant restarts and upgrades to existing facilities.
