Not overly surprising in the sense that the extent of the damage has been discussed publicly before. Still, not what we wanted to hear. #Ukraine #Chornobyl #NuclearSafety

"...AI demands are currently infeasible, as nuclear development timelines—often ten to twenty years—are out of step with the pace of AI deployment, with large conventional nuclear reactors only capable of producing up to one gigawatt of power (i.e.,1 GW[e]) per unit. This discrepancy between the AI industry’s energy demands and the lack of technical feasibility to construct nuclear plants at the pace of these stringent (and often contrived) timescales has created a chasm that is ultimately leading to a slew of efforts to fast-track nuclear timelines that raise serious safety and oversight concerns. Although the nuclear sector has the opportunity to expedite global decarbonization efforts, the monopolization of nuclear energy to explicitly power AI raises serious concerns about whether the risks associated with nuclear facilities and unsubstantiated, fast-tracked initiatives can be justified if they are not to the benefit of civil energy consumption, and if they further entrench power asymmetries that may lead to nuclear destabilization and proliferation.

This report taxonomizes and assesses these nuclear “fast-tracking” initiatives. We examine their feasibility and their impact on nuclear safety, security, and safeguards—and more largely society’s potential exposure to radiation levels—across three primary categories:

- Policy initiatives seeking to lower regulatory practices including long-established nuclear-safety and risk-analysis approaches, safety culture, acceptable risks, and thresholds in order to reduce timescales for the construction of civil and defense nuclear facilities
- The use of generative AI to expedite regulatory processes such as nuclear licensing and commissioning for both civil and defense nuclear facilities
- The promotion of advanced and new nuclear technologies that are contingent on novel or unmaterialized approaches and infeasible timescales"
