Nuclearn Raises $10.5M to Expand AI Tools for Nuclear Power Industry

Nuclearn, a startup founded by Bradley Fox and Jerrold Vincent, has secured a $10.5 million Series A round led by Blue Bear Capital with participation from AZ-VC, Nucleation Capital, and SJF Ventures. The company develops AI software for nuclear power plants, already deployed in more than 65 reactors worldwide.

Nuclearn’s models are trained on industry-specific terminology and support utilities by automating repetitive documentation and workflow tasks, while allowing operators to set safety thresholds. Originating from experiments at the Palo Verde Nuclear Generating Station in Arizona, the platform offers both cloud-based and on-premises deployment. The investment will accelerate Nuclearn’s mission to bring AI-enabled efficiency and safety tools to the global nuclear energy sector.
