Route map for regulating and deploying AI/ML systems within the UK civil nuclear industry
In this document, we outline the suggested core elements of a programme of work for ONR to underpin their aim for ensuring the effective regulation and assessment of AI/ML systems. The route map was initially created during previous research and has now been updated respect to further research and advancements in AI/ML technologies. Given the low level of maturity of AI technologies currently, we believe that the success of this route map also greatly depends on research and development from within the wider nuclear and AI industries and not just the ONR and the nuclear sector.
Characterisation of safety of AI technologies and ai framework
This report provides a characterisation of AI applications for use within nuclear operations, identifying potential benefits, challenges and approaches for dealing with uncertainty associated with AI systems. The purpose of this document is to consider how UK nuclear regulation could safely enable the application of AI and machine learning (ML) applications in operations affecting nuclear material. The report also highlights areas for future research, and proposes a route map for a successful adoption of AI in the near future.
