Two new partnerships forged in AI and nuclear sectors
The nuclear space is full of companies eager to power new AI development. At the same time, many AI companies want to provide services to the nuclear industry. It should come as no surprise, then, that two new partnerships have recently been announced that further bridge the AI and nuclear sectors.
AtkinsRéalis has announced a partnership with Nvidia that aims to leverage Nvidia’s technologies to deploy “nuclear-powered, large-scale AI factories.” Centrus Energy has announced a partnership with Palantir Technologies to use Palantir’s software in support of Centrus’s plans to expand enrichment capacity.

An investigation of MHD effects on Flibe simulant fluid (aqueous potassium hydroxide solution) flows has been conducted under the U.S.-Japan JUPITER-II collaboration program using "FLIHY" pipe flow facility at UCLA. Mean and fluctuating temperature profiles in a conducting wall pipe were measured for low Reynolds number turbulent flows using a thermocouples probe at constant heat flux condition. It is suggested that the temperature profiles are characterized by interaction between turbulence production, turbulence suppression due to magnetic field and thermal stratification occurred even under the situation where quite small temperature difference exists in the pipe cross-section.
