Transform nuclear operations with purpose-built AI
Nuclear is expensive, slow, and labor-intensive. The AP1000 license consumed 11.4 million engineering hours. A single hour of NRC regulatory review costs $300 or more. One developer spent $22 million on initial licensing paperwork. Another paid $30,000 to fix a misplaced semicolon in a submitted report. These issues permeate every aspect of the nuclear energy vertical: licensing, operations, engineering, maintenance, and manufacturing.
The people doing this work are not the problem. The tools are.
Gordian is built for teams that know they need to move faster to meet today's energy demands. For example:
- Regulatory affairs and engineering teams at utilities — managing 10 CFR 50.59 evaluations, license amendment requests, and operating experience reviews across an active fleet
- New build and reactor development teams — driving siting reports, environmental assessments, and licensing basis documentation for projects where schedule slippage costs millions per month
- Compliance and quality assurance teams — tracking change control, conducting gap analyses against revised standards, and preparing for inspections
These teams share the same three problems. Research takes weeks when it should take hours. Drafting takes months when it should take days. And every output has to be defensible to a regulator who will read it line by line.
Gordian solves all three.
Organizing knowledge. Decades of regulatory, design, and licensing documents — indexed, searchable, and queryable in plain language. Precedent research, operating experience review, and licensing basis queries that used to take days now take minutes.
Generating documentation. Gordian drafts licensing-quality outputs with every claim tied to a source: license amendment requests, siting reports, 50.59 evaluation reports, and more. A typically eight-week environmental assessment was completed in one week, including multiple iteration cycles. Hundreds of pages of a license application were built in a day, not a team effort taking 200 person-days, and passed nuclear experts' quality checks.
Evaluating outputs. Gordian compares revisions, flags substantive changes in updated guidance, runs trade-secret checks, and simulates regulatory review panels before you submit. A gap analysis that a consultant might charge $25,000 to complete took 20 minutes.
The result: teams across the industry are completing work faster, with fewer people, and with full traceability to source material.
