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.

The concept and the technical bases of a beam profile controller for a neutral beam injector to realize plasma current profile control in tokamak devices are proposed. Beam orbits of ions emitted from the ion source are controlled magnetically by the beam profile controller before entering the neutralizer. By making use of this beam profile control system, a different neutral beam intensity profile can be realized at the torus plasma without changing the neutral beam power level during one pulse of beam injection.
