Sogin trials digital twin-based decommissioning of nuclear power plants

Italian state-owned energy company Sogin is testing the use of digital twins to streamline the decommissioning process for nuclear power plants.

The digital twins will be used to simulate the decommissioning process, allowing Sogin to identify potential issues and optimize the process. The company is working with a consortium of technology providers to develop the digital twins. The trial is expected to last several months and will involve the decommissioning of a small nuclear power plant in Italy.
