• Operational history
• Artificial intelligence algorithms

These components allow for the dynamic mapping of the entire plant lifecycle, ranging from the overall structure to specific individual components. The core value of this technology lies in its ability to enable:

• State prediction
• Fault diagnosis
• Safety assessment
• Optimized operation (e.g., simulating accident evolution, rehearsing maintenance plans, optimizing fuel management, and personnel training)

Through high-fidelity simulation and real-time interaction, this technology serves as a key pillar for the intelligent transformation of the nuclear power industry by significantly improving safety, economy, and operational efficiency.

Market Dynamics and Drivers

The market is experiencing robust growth driven by the global nuclear energy sector's increasing adoption of advanced digital technologies to improve operational efficiency, safety, and predictive maintenance. Key drivers include:

• The ongoing digital transformation of nuclear power plants worldwide
