The initiative combines NuScale’s advanced reactor expertise, Nuclearn’s robust AtomAssist nuclear AI platform, and NPX’s nuclear project and AI implementation experience to create purpose-built AI tools that will help NuScale to find, understand, and apply critical information more efficiently as it advances its groundbreaking SMR technology.

As advanced reactor projects move from design into deployment, a key task is making timely, informed decisions across a growing volume of engineering information, licensing evidence, technical standards, and institutional knowledge. Rapid, traceable retrieval of information is essential to maintaining program schedules. NuScale‘s initial proof of concept demonstrated that designed-for-nuclear AI terminology and workflows could reduce the time required to find relevant information by as much as 80% while surfacing the most relevant engineering methods and standards.

"NuScale is building a transformative deployment model to integrate NuScale Power Modules™ (NPMs) into nuclear power plants in the near-term, which requires executing with speed, precision, and confidence," said Dr. José Reyes, Chief Technology Officer of NuScale Power. "This partnership with Nuclearn and NPX will equip our teams with the right purpose-built AI tools – grounded in our extensive proprietary knowledge –to work more efficiently while maintaining the highest safety and quality standards."

"AI is only as valuable as the knowledge it can be trusted to deliver," said Jerrold Vincent, CFO and Co-Founder of Nuclearn. "In a highly regulated, safety-critical industry like nuclear, every answer must be grounded in controlled engineering and licensing information. Our platform understands the operational context, regulatory implications, and safety considerations behind every decision, and gives engineers rapid access to the knowledge they need. By combining nuclear-specific language models with NuScale's trusted engineering and licensing content, we’re helping NuScale maintain complete traceability back to the original controlled source, enabling the team to move faster without reducing safety, quality, or regulatory compliances."

"Across Canada, the United States, and the global nuclear market, new nuclear projects face the same challenge: how to move faster without compromising quality, safety, or regulatory discipline," said Joshua Bell, Director, NPX US. "NuScale is taking a practical step the rest of the industry can learn from. NPX brings the nuclear project experience and implementation discipline needed to turn promising technology into practical tools that teams can use in their day-to-day work. This is not AI for AI's sake. It is nuclear professionals working together to solve nuclear challenges using new technology, grounded in deep experience and the discipline our industry requires."
