Introducing the PWROG AI Assistant: Westinghouse's bertha(TM) technology is transforming how the Nuclear Industry accesses knowledge. Westinghouse Electric Company is proud to announce that the PWROG AI Assistant - powered by its own bertha(TM) AI technology - has officially launched and is now available to utility member personnel across the Pressurized Water Reactor Owners Group (PWROG). This is a meaningful milestone for Westinghouse: a real-world demonstration of how its AI capabilities can deliver immediate, practical value to the nuclear industry Westinghouse Electric Company serve. What Is the PWROG AI Assistant? The PWROG AI Assistant is a nuclear-specific artificial intelligence platform that enables PWROG member personnel to ask questions in plain language and receive answers based on the organization's decades of approved technical knowledge and expanded with information from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and its ADAMS dataset. A foundational principle of the PWROG AI Assistant is that artificial intelligence serves as tool to augment engineering professionals, not replace them. Every response is grounded in approved knowledge and accompanied by direct references to source documents, enabling users to validate information before acting on it. Engineering judgment, technical expertise, and human oversight remain central to every decision supported by the platform. "Purpose-built AI technology can significantly improve productivity in highly specialized technical environments when it is implemented responsibly and aligned with established engineering processes." At the heart of the platform is Westinghouse's bertha(TM) AI technology. Purpose-built for highly specialized, technical environments, bertha(TM) understands nuclear terminology, plant systems, technical documentation and the industry-specific context that general-purpose AI tools cannot replicate. This is not an off-the-shelf solution. Rather, it reflects years of Westinghouse expertise in nuclear engineering, digital innovation and responsible AI deployment. Why This Matters for the Nuclear Industry For decades, PWROG has accumulated a vast library of operating expertise. While it is one of the industry's greatest shared assets, its sheer volume has historically made it difficult for engineers to locate the right information quickly. The PWROG AI Assistant helps engineers find the information they need faster, giving them more time to focus on technical analysis and decision-making. As the industry navigates workforce transitions and growing demand for engineering resources, the PWROG AI Assistant also helps ensure that institutional knowledge remains accessible - not just to today's engineers, but to the next generation of nuclear professionals. "The PWROG AI Assistant represents an important advancement in how our members access and leverage the collective knowledge developed across the nuclear industry," said a PWROG Chairman Jim Lynde. "By reducing the time required to locate and understand relevant information, the platform helps engineers focus more of their efforts on applying technical expertise and solving complex challenges." Immediate Value, Already Being Delivered Since its deployment, the PWROG AI Assistant has been delivering measurable value to utility members.
