Oak Ridge National Laboratory signed an agreement with AI startup Atomic Canyon to streamline nuclear power plant licensing. By using high‑performance computing and generative AI models, the partners aim to create high‑fidelity simulations and automate parts of license reviews. AI tools like the FERMI models behind Atomic Canyon’s Neutron platform can search through millions of technical documents and provide context, potentially saving time and labour in a highly regulated industry while still ensuring safety and collaboration between regulators and scientists.
