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.

UK-based Cavendish Nuclear, a wholly owned subsidiary of Babcock International Group, said on 19 April that it had won funding for its new OptiSORT system, which will be carried as part of an industry-wide partnership including Bristol Robotics Laboratory. The funding forms phase 1 of a 2 part competition awarded by the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA), in partnership with Innovate UK to fund innovative ideas that will lead to cheaper, safer and faster ways of sorting and segregating radioactive waste.
