Record Notes

PG&E and Atomic Canyon announced the commercial deployment of Atomic Canyon's Neutron Enterprise generative AI solution at Diablo Canyon Power Plant in November 2024. PG&E says the system runs on NVIDIA's AI platform and is being deployed to improve nuclear-plant document search, retrieval, and operational efficiency.

ADCI removes the previous 2,256 MW selected capacity. Opened sources support that 2,256 MW as Diablo Canyon nuclear-plant generating capacity, not as data-center IT load, a data-center campus power envelope, or an AI software deployment capacity. This record remains a nuclear AI operations signal, but it should not contribute selected public MW until a source-backed compute-load or data-center capacity claim exists.
