Digital Twins for Nuclear Roundtable

Overview:

Simulate to Validate: Bringing Nuclear Projects to Life Before They’re Built

As new nuclear enters an era of acceleration driven by AI, SMRs, and hyperscale energy demand, the use of Digital Twin technology has emerged as a transformative tool. Digital Twins enable developers, regulators, and investors to interact with a fully simulated nuclear facility—providing unparalleled visibility, risk reduction, and acceleration across the project lifecycle.

This roundtable explores how Digital Twins are enabling modular nuclear deployment, streamlining licensing, enhancing operational preparedness, and strengthening investor confidence. The conversation will unite SMR vendors, data center operators, utilities, regulators, and capital providers to map the path from simulation to deployment—with Asia, North America, and Europe at different stages of adoption.

Objectives:

• Explore how Digital Twins can radically compress nuclear deployment timelines

• Understand the regulatory potential of AI-powered simulation environments

• Demonstrate how investors can use twins to de-risk decisions

• Identify use cases across design, licensing, construction, operations, and decommissioning

• Define priorities for cross-sector collaboration and digital standards

• Highlight how Digital Twins fit within AI infrastructure and industrial decarbonization goals
