Tech companies are increasingly relying on nuclear power to meet the growing electricity demands of AI. However, the nuclear sector is often criticized for its slow progress. Trey Lauderdale, founder of Atomic Canyon, believes that AI can transform operational efficiency by addressing the vast amount of documentation that nuclear plants produce. The startup has already secured a pivotal deal with Diablo Canyon and raised $7 million to enhance its AI capabilities. Yet, challenges persist, as early AI models struggled with the complexity of nuclear terminology.
Tech companies are betting heavily that nuclear power can help deliver the electricity they need to realize their AI plans.
Lauderdale thinks AI can give nuclear the speed that it needs.
Atomic Canyon closed a $7 million seed round led by the Energy Impact Partners.
We quickly realized the AI hallucinates when it sees these nuclear words; it hasn't seen enough examples of the acronyms.
