Digitizing the Global Nuclear Fleet
Non-Invasive upgrade in minutes at a fraction of the cost
As demand from AI data centers increases, nuclear power is essential for providing reliable, carbon-free base load generation. Globally, over 200 commercial nuclear plants operate with an average age exceeding 40 years, and most are expected to remain in service for decades. These facilities rely on mechanical, analog, and pneumatic systems, which lack digital capabilities, limiting data visibility and preventing the adoption of advanced fault detection, predictive maintenance, and AI-driven analytics. Consequently, operations remain labor-intensive and face ongoing challenges in safety, reliability, and efficiency. Upgrading these plants with digital technologies is prohibitively expensive, requiring extensive engineering, regulatory approval, and operational disruption—making such investments difficult to justify for most operators.
