How digitalization and AI are driving a renaissance in nuclear power

By Justin Tuttle

Whether it’s from growing populations or new AI data centers requiring tremendous amounts of electricity, the world needs ultra-reliable, affordable, carbon-free power—and lots more of it.

Nuclear power re-entered the chat.

In the 30-minute video below, a panel of Siemens nuclear power experts and Emilio Baglietto, Professor of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT, hold a hard-hitting discussion on the resurgence of advanced nuclear power in the digital age. Watch the video to discover how:

Nuclear power’s unparalleled energy density is poised to play an increasing role in ensuring global energy security and price stability
Advanced digital technologies are helping enable new reactor designs, such as small modular reactors with significantly reduced construction timelines and costs
Nuclear businesses are using a digital twin of their facilities to optimize systems performance using predictive maintenance
Engineers within nuclear facilities can use reduced-order models to make near real-time simulations on smartphones to gain insights and make rapid data-driven decisions
