Blue Wave AI Labs Secures Second Innovation Award for Nuclear AI Advances

Blue Wave AI Labs, based in West Lafayette, IN, has been recognized with its second Top Innovative Practice (TIP) Award from the Nuclear Energy Institute (NEI). This accolade, received in collaboration with Constellation Energy Generation, highlights Blue Wave's pioneering “predictive intelligence” technology for nuclear reactor core design. This innovation offers significant annual savings in fuel and storage costs for nuclear fleets.

The technology meets the challenge of predicting thermal limits in Boiling Water Reactor (BWR) cores, enhancing the safety and cost-efficiency of nuclear operations. It also represents the most sophisticated AI model in reactor physics to date, improving predictive accuracy by a factor of four.

Key benefits of this new AI technology include enhanced safety, substantial cost savings, and greater efficiency in fuel management processes. The successful partnership with Constellation underscores the transformative potential of AI in nuclear energy.
