Palantir Technologies Inc. has announced a partnership with The Nuclear Company to co-develop NOS, the first AI-powered, real-time software system tailored for nuclear construction.
This strategic alliance marks a pivotal moment for both the energy and technology sectors, as it aims to address longstanding challenges in nuclear project delivery and accelerate America’s transition to clean, reliable baseload power.
Built on Palantir’s Foundry platform, NOS is designed to transform the construction of nuclear reactors into a data-driven, highly predictable process. The platform will provide construction teams with instantaneous, context-aware guidance, dynamically adjusting to real-time constraints such as material availability and weather conditions.
By integrating digital twin technology and predictive analytics, NOS will enable project leaders to monitor progress with unprecedented precision, identifying and addressing potential issues before they escalate into costly delays.
A core feature of NOS is its ability to streamline the nuclear supply chain. The system will track and verify all components, prevent shipment errors, and initiate backup plans when delays loom.
Automation of regulatory documentation, powered by large language models, will further reduce administrative burdens and enhance compliance, giving regulators and stakeholders greater confidence in project execution.
The partnership comes at a critical juncture for the U.S. nuclear industry. Despite the urgent need for clean, firm power to support AI-driven data centers and a growing digital economy, nuclear projects in the U.S. have historically suffered from chronic delays and budget overruns. The NOS initiative directly addresses these pain points, offering a pathway to build nuclear plants faster, safer, and at lower cost.
This collaboration is also a direct response to recent executive orders from President Donald Trump, which call for 400 gigawatts of new nuclear capacity by 2050 and at least 10 large-scale reactors under construction by 2030. As China continues to outpace the U.S. in nuclear deployment, the NOS platform is positioned as a critical tool for restoring American leadership in advanced energy infrastructure.
The Nuclear Company will invest approximately $100 million over five years in the development of NOS, underscoring the scale and ambition of the project. As U.S. electricity demand reaches record highs, particularly from AI and crypto-driven data centers, the success of this initiative could set a new standard for nuclear construction worldwide and catalyze broader adoption of AI in critical infrastructure.
With NOS, Palantir and The Nuclear Company are not only modernizing nuclear construction but also redefining what’s possible for America’s energy future.
