Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Atomic Canyon to accelerate nuclear licensing with AI
ORNL and Atomic Canyon signed a memorandum of understanding to streamline the licensing process for nuclear power plants with AI for license application reviews. The agreement outlines their shared intentions to use high-performance computing to create high-fidelity simulations that ensure the safety of designs while accelerating licensing.
“ORNL was critical to the development of nuclear energy more than 75 years ago, and we are committed to advancing the technologies needed to sustain and grow the nation’s nuclear capacity today,” said ORNL Director Stephen Streiffer. “The time is now. With new capabilities enabled by AI and partners like Atomic Canyon, we can help the nuclear industry unleash American energy.”
