Nuclearn Unveils Gamma2: The Cutting-Edge AI for Nuclear

Nuclearn has made headlines by launching Gamma2, a groundbreaking artificial intelligence model specifically designed for the nuclear industry. Operating with a massive 32 billion parameters, Gamma2 is the largest AI language model built for this critical sector. Launched recently, it is already producing remarkable results across nuclear facilities in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K..

Swift Problem Resolution

In initial trials, Gamma2 has proven its potential by resolving a significant issue with an auxiliary feedwater pump at a major Texas nuclear power plant in record time. This problem had lingered for two years, but Gamma2 managed to analyze two decades of operational history and identify the necessary repairs in under four hours, all before the next shift began. This unprecedented speed and efficiency highlight the transformative ability of AI in nuclear operations.

Developed by a team of nuclear experts, Gamma2 is trained on over 4 terabytes of regulatory and operational data sourced from organizations like the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). This extensive background empowers Gamma2 to comprehend the specialized terminology and context inherent to nuclear operations—skills that generic AI models often lack.

Financial and Operational Impact

The primary goal of Gamma2 is to significantly reduce operational and maintenance costs for nuclear utilities by 30-50%. By automating labor-intensive tasks, Gamma2 aims to ensure the long-term viability of nuclear reactors and contribute to global decarbonization efforts. According to Jerrold Vincent, Co-Founder and CFO of Nuclearn, “Every dollar saved on operations helps keep reactors functional and reduces carbon emissions.” With Gamma2, the nuclear industry finally has an AI that speaks its language fluently.

Already utilized in 23 reactors, Gamma2’s impact on operational efficiency is undeniable. It has reduced the time required for troubleshooting and document development by a staggering up to 98%. Nuclear teams now rely on Gamma2 for tasks such as FSAR lookups, safety evaluations, root cause analysis, and procedure development, leading to enhanced operational insights and streamlined efficiency.

Purpose-Built for Nuclear

What sets Gamma2 apart from typical AI solutions is its tailor-made design for the nuclear sector. Unlike general-purpose AI models, which may function like a clever graduate lacking specific knowledge, Gamma2 embodies the expertise akin to a seasoned 30-year nuclear veteran. This vast knowledge allows it to instantly recall regulations, procedures, and lessons learned—an invaluable resource for modern nuclear facilities.

Vincent emphasizes this distinction, stating, “Most AI models are like hiring a top grad with no nuclear experience—smart, but not plant-ready. Gamma2 is integrated with the necessary nuclear expertise and context.” It's not just an enhancement; it's a complete rethinking of how AI can be deployed within the nuclear space.

A Game-Changer for Nuclear Energy

Phil Zeringue, the Chief Revenue Officer of Nuclearn, compared the launch of Gamma2 to the advent of the smartphone for the nuclear sector, calling it a “nuclear's iPhone moment.” While many peers have engaged in theoretical debates about AI’s possibilities, Nuclearn focused on creating real-world solutions for the nuclear energy landscape.

As of now, Gamma2 is available through the Nuclearn platform. Organizations interested in experiencing this innovative technology firsthand can request a demo at www.nuclearn.ai.

Through this advanced AI tool, Nuclearn is shaping the future of the nuclear industry by merging technology with expertise, promising enhanced operations and a more sustainable future.
