As more and more countries use nuclear technology for peaceful purposes and launch nuclear energy programmes, the IAEA works to ensure that people and the environment are protected from the potentially harmful effects of ionising radiation.
AI can contribute to nuclear security and safety in different ways. It can be used to process data of radiation detection systems to improve detection and identification of nuclear and other radioactive materials, analyze data of physical protection systems to improve intrusion detection, as well as detect anomalies that may be caused by a cyberattack. – Attack on a nuclear facility. In the field of radiation protection, the integration of artificial intelligence into programs related to safety standards can also enhance the protection of millions of workers exposed to occupational exposure in the medical, construction and operational sectors.
As part of the “France Relance” plan, the French government launched a call for projects to support investment and modernization of the nuclear sector and selected the ARNA project (Artificial Intelligence Research on Nuclear Applications Data). This project aims to create an AI-enhanced control system that could eventually be used to monitor storage structures at Cigéo, the geological storage project for most of the radioactive waste.
