Amazon Web Services collaborates with Idaho National Laboratory to enhance nuclear energy research through advanced AI tools and cloud computing. The technology suite aims to reduce overhead costs related to nuclear facility operations. Key goals include developing small modular reactor digital twin models for operational understanding and promoting sustainable power for data centers. The collaboration highlights AWS's role in advancing autonomous nuclear reactor technology, enhancing safety and responsiveness in civilian nuclear operations. The announcement coincides with President Trump's AI policy executive orders but is not a direct outcome of them.
"Our collaboration with Amazon Web Services marks a significant leap forward in integrating advanced AI technologies into our nuclear energy research and development initiatives," INL Director John Wagner said in a press release. "This collaboration underscores the critical role of linking the nation's nuclear energy laboratory with AWS."
"AWS's powerful AI and computing technology will support Idaho National Laboratory's development of autonomous nuclear reactors to pioneer a future where civilian nuclear operations are safer, smarter and more responsive," David Appel, vice president of U.S. Federal and Global National Security and Defense for AWS, said in the release.
