To thoroughly implement the innovation-driven development and energy revolution strategies of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, accelerate the deep integration of artificial intelligence technology with the nuclear energy industry, and stimulate industry innovation vitality, the China Energy Research Society is organizing the 2025 Energy Industry AI Innovative Technology Application Scenario Collection (see Appendix 1 for details). The collection work for the "AI+Nuclear Energy Innovative Application Scenarios" track is now being launched. Relevant matters are as follows:
I. Background and Purpose
Artificial Intelligence (AI), as the core driving force of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is reshaping the global industrial landscape. In the nuclear energy field, AI technology, with its powerful data analysis, intelligent decision-making, and predictive capabilities, provides a new paradigm for the safe and efficient development of this strategic energy source. The integration of "AI+Nuclear Energy" has become an inevitable trend in technological development and industrial upgrading.
This activity aims to create an AI+Nuclear Energy cross-border innovation ecosystem platform through AI technologies (Machine Learning, Knowledge Graphs, Natural Language Processing, Computer Vision, etc.), forming a closed loop of "Academic Innovation - Technical Verification - Engineering Application," and building a national-level benchmark platform for nuclear energy intelligent development. By deeply applying AI technology to the entire industry chain of nuclear power plants, including design optimization, intelligent operation and maintenance, safety supervision, fault prediction, and fuel management, it will significantly enhance safety, economy, and efficiency, driving the full lifecycle management of the nuclear energy industry towards intelligence and digitalization.
