Mission Brief
Regulatory Document Intelligence System
Build an AI system to navigate and analyze complex nuclear regulatory documents for compliance verification
Primary Objective
Design an AI system capable of parsing, understanding, and cross-referencing nuclear regulatory documents to provide real-time compliance guidance and identify potential regulatory conflicts before they become violations.
Secondary Objectives
Automatically flag regulatory updates that impact current plant operations
Generate compliance checklists for new procedures
Identify inconsistencies between plant procedures and regulatory requirements
Predict regulatory review outcomes for proposed changes
Technical Requirements
Document Processing Architecture
Parse nested regulatory hierarchies (CFR → Reg Guides → Standard Review Plans)
Extract and link cross-references between documents
Handle document versioning and change tracking
Process technical drawings and engineering schematics within regulatory context
Natural Language Understanding
Interpret regulatory language and technical specifications
Understand implicit requirements and industry conventions
Parse conditional logic (if/then statements in regulations)
Extract actionable requirements from dense regulatory text
Knowledge Graph Construction
Build relationships between regulations, components, and procedures
Map regulatory requirements to plant systems
Track dependency chains across multiple documents
Model temporal aspects of regulatory changes
Success Criteria
