US-based Blue Wave AI Labs has deployed machine learning (ML) tools at power utility Constellation’s Peach Bottom Atomic Power Station and Limerick Generating Station. The project was part of a $6m initiative supported by the US Department of Energy (DOE) to lower NPP operating costs using artificial intelligence (AI) and ML technologies. Argonne National Laboratory and Brookhaven National Laboratory contributed to the project. The effort also leveraged 158,000 core hours across the Nuclear Science User Facilities high-performance computing systems.

Argentina’s RA-10 multi-purpose research reactor at Ezeiza Atomic Centre (CAE - El Centro Atómico Ezeiza) in Buenos Aires province, is now about 80% completed, according to project manager Herman Blaumann. "The civil work is already finished and in terms of supplies and installations the progress is 75%. This week the reactor's reflector tank will arrive ... the installation of which is another key step in the work,” he told Argentina's Foreign Minister Diana Mondino during a tour of the facility.
