Today, we are proud to announce Nuclearn Inc, a company founded to help the nuclear power industry harness the benefits of artificial intelligence and machine learning technology.
Nuclearn?
Nuclearn is a machine learning platform that is ready right out-of-the-box with products needed to automate tasks and challenges commonly faced by nuclear power plants. The majority of these products utilize machine learning and artificial intelligence software that is pre-trained and ready for immediate use, specifically for the nuclear power industry.
Why is this important?
A nuclear power plant’s core competency is safely and efficiently operating a nuclear reactor – it isn’t developing software or training machine learning models. However, the nuclear power industry stands to benefit enormously from deploying machine learning to automate routine business tasks. Most industry participants perform tasks very unique to nuclear power, but very common from plant to plant. Many of these tasks are able to be automated with software employing machine learning and artificial intelligence techniques. Once such a task has been automated, the solution is almost always generally applicable to all industry participants.
Nuclearn Inc was started to develop and deploy such solutions.
One unified platform.
Nuclearn organizes all the software necessities for automation into one comprehensive platform. From the platform, you can access product categories that automate certain areas of your business like the Corrective Action Program or Regulatory Compliance, perform training and deployment of individual task automation models, or deploy Nuclearn’s solutions into your business immediately using our easy to use pre-built Excel spreadsheets or do a systems-level integration with REST APIs.
Built for nuclear export rules.
The Nuclearn team has first-hand experience complying with the challenges of nuclear export regulations. Today, each plant runs in its own single-tenant instance, hosted by Nuclearn in our own datacenter on our own hardware, with hosting, operations and support set up for 10 CFR Part 810 export controls.
Nuclearn speaks Nuclear.
Nuclearn’s models and techniques aren’t just state-of-the-art, they are custom-tailored for the nuclear domain. This means that Nuclearn has adopted the best-available techniques from the largest technology companies and implemented the latest research from the highest caliber academic institutions and primed them with nuclear specific data. So when you tell a Nuclearn predictive model “Declared feed injection pump B inop after trip on lowflow to SG2, entered LCO 5.4.5”, Nuclearn’s models know what you are talking about.
Nuclearn knows Nuclear.
Nuclearn’s Founders were born in technology and raised in the nuclear power industry and have faced the challenges that come with working in a ‘special and unique’ industry. Nuclearn founder Jerrold Vincent started his career as a Nuclear Data Analyst overseeing nuclear analytics, data warehousing, and business intelligence. Nuclearn founder Bradley Fox started his career as a Nuclear Engineer overseeing the Inservice Testing Program. Together Jerrold and Brad started and grew the largest US nuclear plant’s data science and machine learning competency, culminating in the receipt of the Nuclear Energy Institute’s 2020 Best of the Best Technology Innovative Practice award for Process Automation using Machine Learning. That same skill and knowledge now help Nuclearn solve problems for the entire nuclear power industry.
We are pleased to introduce Nuclearn and look forward to serving the Nuclear Industry for years to come.
