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 Japanese design of HFTM, so-called HFTM-H, aims to be used for high temperature irradiation test up to 1000°C for SiC/SiCf composite and refractory materials. During irradiation test periods in the IFMIF, irradiated materials must be maintained at constant temperatures. It is confirmed that the conceptual design of HFTM-H can satisfy the requirement for displacement per atom (dpa). The gas production rate to dpa ratio, which is important requirement for the design of HFTM-H as well as dpa is calculated. Nuclear heating distribution in HFTM-H is also predicted, which is served to temperature control design and structural analysis.
