Atomic Canyon partners with INL on AI benchmarks
As interest and investment grows around AI applications in nuclear power plants, there remains a gap in standardized benchmarks that can quantitatively compare and measure the quality and reliability of new products.
Nuclear-tailored AI developer Atomic Canyon is moving to fill that gap by entering into a new strategic partnership with Idaho National Laboratory to develop and release the “first comprehensive benchmark suite for evaluating retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and large language models (LLMs) in nuclear applications.”

An assessment of the problems associated with remote handling, changing, and disposal of filters suggests that significant advantages to filtration systems could be made by the adoption of high-efficiency particulate air filters with circular geometry for both new and existing ventilation plants. The circular filter development has considered filters for a range of flows from 45 to 3400 m3/h, for small gloveboxes to large-volume installations. The development has also concentrated on filter systems employing simple change techniques that take advantage of the circular geometry.
