Rapid advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) applications are set to transform the nuclear energy sector, including nuclear research and development. In this context, the OECD Nuclear Energy Agency (NEA) has initiated the AIxpertise joint project to build a structured, collaborative platform for experts to harness AI for the nuclear energy sector.
Project participants will engage in hands-on activities in three pillars: data, benchmarking, and training. They will enhance knowledge, collect and curate data, and assess tools to apply AI solutions effectively and safely for the future of the nuclear energy sector.
In particular, the project will establish a collaborative platform to bring together stakeholders from research organisations, safety authorities, technical support organisations (TSOs), industry, academia, and technology companies.
The project will drive innovation, expand expertise across various research areas, and ensure the sector remains at the forefront of technological advancements. It will foster transparency, trust, and support regulatory readiness for AI applications, leveraging decades of experience at NEA, its robust infrastructure and international reach.
