DOE Uses Everstar AI to Generate 208-Page NRC License Application in One Day

The U.S. Department of Energy used Everstar AI built on Microsoft Azure to convert the Preliminary Documented Safety Analysis for the National Reactor Innovation Center (NRIC) Generic High Temperature Gas Reactor (HTGR) into sections equivalent to an NRC license application. The final 208-page document took one day to generate, a task that typically takes a team of people between four and six weeks. Gordian AI was engineered for nuclear-grade technical work with physics and engineering tools and semantic ontology mapping to ensure output is computed and verified, not inferred. The AI comprehensively identified missing or incomplete information needed to successfully complete an NRC application. The approach maintains a critical principle where experts design, AI accelerates and experts validate.
