Centrus Taps Palantir's AI To Supercharge America's Nuclear Comeback

On Thursday, Palantir Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:PLTR) and Centrus Energy Corp. (NYSE:LEU) announced a partnership to deploy artificial intelligence software to support Centrus’ multi-billion-dollar expansion of uranium enrichment capacity in the United States.

The collaboration will apply Palantir’s Foundry and Artificial Intelligence Platform (AIP) to integrate data systems and improve operational efficiency across Centrus’ uranium enrichment plant expansion in Piketon, Ohio. Early work since the partnership began in late January has already identified nearly $300 million in potential cost savings and efficiency gains.

Centrus said the AI-driven platform will help optimize project controls, engineering, manufacturing execution, supply chains, and regulatory compliance while connecting classified and unclassified operational environments.
