There are a number of challenges facing the nuclear industry when it comes to rapidly deploying nuclear energy technologies to meet growing energy needs. Artificial Intelligence has progressed to a point where it can provide significant benefits to the nuclear industry particularly in streamlining the time and resources necessary to perform certain functions such as

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has made significant progress in recent years to update the regulations to adapt to the incoming wave of new reactor designs from small modular reactors and microreactors to advanced reactor designs. There are new licensing frameworks being developed to enable the licensing of new reactors to meet demand needs

As the US Government moves to support nuclear fission and fusion strongly, new public-private partnerships agreements have been made that reflect performance-based, fixed-price milestone contracts. Initially demonstrated with significant success in the space industry between NASA and SpaceX, these milestones based contracts can enable significant advancements in nuclear reactor demonstration projects as well as nuclear
