Neuromorphic Continual Learning for Sequential Deployment of Nuclear Plant Monitoring Systems

ArXi:2604.18611v1 Announce Type: cross Anomaly detection in nuclear industrial control systems (ICS) requires continuous, energy-efficient monitoring across multiple subsystems that are often deployed at different stages of plant commissioning. When a conventional neural network is sequentially trained to monitor new subsystems, it catastrophically forgets previously learned anomaly patterns, a safety-critical failure mode. We present the first spiking neural network (SNN)-based anomaly detection system with continual learning for nuclear ICS, addressing both challenges simultaneously.
