With over 60 reactors around the world relying on our technology, Nuclearn is built on one simple idea: nuclear deserves better tools. Our team—made up of nuclear professionals and engineers—set out to modernize the industry by applying AI to some of its most critical, and often outdated, processes. “We saw this massive gap,” said Bradley Fox, CEO and co-founder. “You’ve got the tech to split atoms, but a lot of the supporting work is still done with decades-old systems. We knew AI could help streamline that complexity—making things safer, faster, and more efficient. It’s a win for the plants, and for the future of clean energy.” Jerrold Vincent, our CFO and co-founder, adds: “Back in 2016, we recognized the potential for AI to support nuclear—not just in cutting costs, but in preparing the next generation of workers. That’s why we started Nuclearn. We believe AI is one of the best tools we have to keep nuclear strong for the long haul.” The software we’ve built isn’t generic. It’s nuclear-specific, pre-trained, and ready to go—designed by people who’ve lived the process and know exactly what this industry needs.

Datch is a platform that leverages AI to capture highly detailed, structured human-centric data while surfacing asset insights for decision-making and resource management. Our goal is to cut deep into the availability shortfall by providing the data and intelligence needed to decrease asset MTTR, increase MTBF, support better planning and allow for faster decision making. In order to support the asset availability goals across resource management, reporting, planning, scheduling, and reliability, the product is designed around a single value proposition: ”perfect data”. By perfect data, we mean complete, highly accurate, context rich reports coming in from the frontline, and perfect recall and distillation of data to the right people at the right time. Data capture is achieved through a combination of worker enablement capabilities, such as speech-to-text, real-time translation, and conversational AI, and data enrichment, through features that add context and guidance to transform the data as it’s captured. Data accessibility and asset insights are tools that are underpinned by generative search trained on the company’s document management system, work management history, and other language-rich data sources related to assets.
