Nuclearn Deploys Gamma2 AI to Revolutionize Nuclear Plant Operationsby Clarence Oxford![]() ![]()

Related LinksNuclearn has launched Gamma2, a 32-billion-parameter large language model engineered specifically for the nuclear power sector. Now operational in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom, Gamma2 was designed to dramatically enhance efficiency across nuclear utilities by understanding the industry's complex regulatory and operational language. Developed by nuclear professionals and trained on over 4 terabytes of data from organizations like the NRC and IAEA, Gamma2 recently solved a long-standing auxiliary feedwater pump issue at a Texas nuclear facility in under four hours. The AI synthesized 20 years of historical data and identified the resolution before the end of a single shift. Nuclearn aims to cut operations and maintenance costs by 30-50% using Gamma2, which automates resource-intensive processes, boosts plant longevity, and supports global decarbonization initiatives. "Every dollar we save on operations keeps reactors online and carbon out of the atmosphere," said Jerrold Vincent, Co-Founder and CFO of Nuclearn. "With Gamma2, nuclear finally has an AI brain fluent in its language." Gamma2 is currently assisting operations at 23 nuclear reactors. It has reportedly reduced time spent on troubleshooting, document creation, and procedure development by as much as 98%. Utility teams are leveraging it for root cause analyses, FSAR queries, safety documentation, and more. Unlike generic AI models, Gamma2 is designed exclusively for nuclear applications. It supports secure configurations, including air-gapped, on-premise, and 10 CFR 810-compliant SaaS environments. It also includes audit trails, real-time QA functionality, and traceable outputs. "Most AI models are like hiring a top grad with no nuclear experience-smart, but not plant-ready," said Vincent. "Gamma2 is different. It's like working with a 30-year nuclear veteran who remembers every regulation, procedure, and lesson learned-instantly." Phil Zeringue, Nuclearn's Chief Revenue Officer, emphasized the breakthrough: "This feels like nuclear's iPhone moment. While others debated what AI could do, we built what it can do for nuclear energy."
