Military and surveillance company Palantir is partnering with The Nuclear Company (TNC) to co-develop and deploy NOS, an 'AI-driven' real-time software system focused on the construction of nuclear reactors.

“Our mission is to build nuclear power the way America once built its greatest infrastructure projects — fast, safe, and at scale,” said The Nuclear Company founder and CEO Jonathan Webb.

“With Palantir, we have a technology partner who shares our sense of urgency and understands that nuclear isn’t just an energy issue — it’s a national security imperative. NOS is how we finally break the cycle of delays, deliver a new energy future, and protect America’s nuclear leadership from China, so we don’t lose it like we did manufacturing decades ago.”

As part of this project, Palantir will deploy its own engineering team with The Nuclear Company’s construction and engineering staff. TNC will pay Palantir around $100 million over five years to develop the platform.

“The future of energy security and sovereignty will be shaped by our ability to deploy advanced technologies at scale,” said Mike Gallagher, head of defense at Palantir. “This partnership marks the first time Palantir’s software will be used to help power the next generation of nuclear energy infrastructure. By integrating our operating system with The Nuclear Company’s ambitious vision, we are laying the foundation for a new era of resilient, intelligent, and secure energy systems in the United States and beyond.”
