NuScale Power Integrates AI to Streamline Operations and Regulatory Processes
On August 25, NuScale Power announced it is deploying AI tools from Nuclearn and NPX across its operations. These platforms are designed specifically for nuclear engineering terminology and compliance with the NRC's frameworks. The implementation aims to reduce time spent on information verification by up to 80%, potentially accelerating design modifications and regulatory responses. NuScale, which holds a first-mover advantage as the only company with an approved SMR design from the NRC, is still in pre-commercial operations. It has one secured project in Romania expected to open by 2033 and is seeking commitments for additional projects through partnerships like its collaboration with ENTRA1 Energy and the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA). While NuScale currently lacks deals with major tech firms investing in nuclear power, it aims to leverage AI as a competitive edge. The company's integration of AI into internal workflows reflects broader industry trends where technology giants are exploring SMRs for future data centers. However, investors should remain cautious due to the capital-intensive nature and early-stage development of NuScale’s business.
