The Nuclear Industry’s Critical Juncture

The nuclear energy industry stands at a pivotal moment. While it remains a cornerstone of clean, reliable power, the industry faces mounting pressure from rising O&M costs, workforce attrition, and complex regulatory demands. At the same time, global climate goals are accelerating the demand for sustainable, carbon-free energy. The challenge? Keep reactors online, safe, and cost-effective for the long haul.

Enter Gamma2 from Nuclearn—a breakthrough that’s redefining what’s possible in nuclear operations.

Meet Gamma2: The World’s Largest AI Model for Nuclear Power

Gamma2 is a 32-billion-parameter AI large language model purpose-built for nuclear power. Created by Nuclearn, the first AI solutions provider dedicated to the nuclear sector, Gamma2 is trained on more than 4 terabytes of industry-specific data from the NRC, INPO, IAEA, and utilities. Unlike general-purpose AI models, Gamma2 was developed by nuclear professionals who understand the demands, context, and precision required in nuclear operations.

This isn’t just a smart system. Gamma2 is a digital nuclear expert—one that speaks the industry’s language and delivers answers with unmatched speed and accuracy.

Native to Nuclear, Ready on Day One

Gamma2’s real power lies in its specificity. Generic AI often misinterprets critical terminology and regulatory nuance. Gamma2 doesn’t. It understands acronyms, licensing language, technical procedures, and safety standards the way a seasoned operator does.

As Jerrold Vincent, Co-Founder and CFO of Nuclearn, explains: “Every dollar we save on operations keeps reactors online and carbon out of the atmosphere. With Gamma2, the nuclear industry finally has an AI brain fluent in its language.”

Real-World Results, Immediate Impact

Gamma2 is already delivering results across 23 reactors in the U.S., Canada, and the U.K. In one standout case, it resolved a two-year auxiliary feedwater pump issue at a major Texas plant in under four hours. Gamma2 synthesized two decades of pump data and pinpointed the fix—before the next shift clocked in.

Users rely on Gamma2 for FSAR lookups, safety evaluations, root cause analyses, and procedure development. Tasks that used to take weeks now take minutes. On average, troubleshooting and documentation development time is down by up to 98%.

Phil Zeringue, Chief Revenue Officer at Nuclearn, captures the scale of this shift: “This feels like the nuclear industry’s iPhone moment. While others debated what AI could do, we built what it can do for nuclear energy.”

Secure, Compliant, and Scalable

Gamma2 supports secure deployments across 10 CFR 810-compliant environments, including air-gapped, on-premise, and SaaS configurations. Real-time QA tools, full audit trails, and traceable outputs ensure accountability and compliance every step of the way.

A Strategic Advantage for the Nuclear Industry

Gamma2 is not just a tool—it’s a strategic enabler. By reducing O&M costs by 30–50%, it directly supports the economic sustainability of existing nuclear assets. It also bridges the workforce gap, empowering teams with institutional knowledge and ensuring consistent, high-quality decision-making even as experienced professionals retire.

Available Now

Gamma2 is live and available through the Nuclearn platform. Utilities and operators ready to modernize their operations and improve their bottom line can request a demo today at www.nuclearn.ai.

Gamma2 isn’t a vision of the future. It’s here, delivering real impact for nuclear operators today. Built by Nuclearn for the nuclear industry, it’s changing how teams solve problems, share knowledge, and sustain reactor performance for decades to come.

For an industry built on precision, Gamma2 is the breakthrough that brings power, speed, and certainty to every decision.
