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.”

A pressurized water reactor plant scenario is evaluated during a loss of feedwater following multiple failures and operator interventions. For a more realistic analysis, an experiment performed on the SPES facility is taken as a reference. A suitably qualified RELAP5/MOD2 code nodalization was used to evaluate the behavior of the facility under the failure of various systems and the activation of typical accident management recovery procedures.
