    Diablo Canyon, California’s sole remaining nuclear power plant, has been left for dead on more than a few occasions over the last decade or so, and is currently slated to begin a lengthy decommissioning process in 2029.

    So this AI is apparently not operating a nuclear plant, which would be concerning.

    For now, the artificial intelligence tool named Neutron Enterprise is just meant to help workers at the plant navigate extensive technical reports and regulations — millions of pages of intricate documents from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission that go back decades — while they operate and maintain the facility.

    Ah, that makes more sense. I hope it doesn’t end up leading humans away from correct understanding of safety regulations.
