Global efforts are focusing on achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. Small modular reactors (SMRs) might be a critical part of the solution. Today, we’re spotlighting the connection between SMRs and net-zero carbon emissions. We’ll particularly evaluate SMR’s economic viability against other carbon-free electrical sources. Why Choose SMRs and Their Role in Achieving Net-Zero Carbon […]
In December of 2019, Accelerant Solutions leadership (Projects Director Jason Smith and President/CEO Billy Mack) visited NuScale headquarters in Corvallis, Oregon and met with company leaders to discuss potential opportunities for collaborating on training initiatives. During the site visit, company directors conducted a full tour of NuScale’s Small Modular Reactor (SMR) simulator and formed relationships in the process, ultimately culminating in an agreement to pilot a NuScale lesson plan using Accelerant […]
The nuclear power industry is rapidly evolving, requiring us to adapt our approach to employee training. Accordingly, blended and virtual learning have emerged as powerful tools, enhancing training effectiveness, efficiency, and flexibility. In this blog post, we will explore how aligning the learning and development (L&D) strategy with blended and virtual learning can revolutionize nuclear […]
Created by ChatGPT and Jessika Hernandez Since my blog topic this month is focused on AI, I thought why not let AI create it? I wanted to keep it scholarly, and without too much specificity, because if you are familiar with the Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPTs) in use currently, you know that your prompt steers […]
PORTLAND, Ore. – At a signing ceremony on June 7, 2023, NuScale Power Corporation (NYSE: SMR) and Accelerant Solutions announced an agreement for the development and implementation of a Small Modular Reactor Operator Training Program. Small Modular Reactor Operator Training Program: Empowering Nuclear Operators Since 2020, NuScale and Accelerant Solutions have collaborated to develop lesson […]

Gamification has been proven to be an effective strategy in learning over the last few decades. Numerous empirical studies published in peer-reviewed journals provide evidence to support its use. Although more research is needed to understand the benefits and best practices in design and implementation, its value has been recognized in various areas. One of […]
Robert Stone’s 2013 documentary film “Pandora’s Promise” argues in favor of nuclear power as a solution to climate change and reducing carbon emissions. The film features interviews with environmentalists, energy experts, and former anti-nuclear activists who have changed their position on nuclear power. While the film has been praised by some for presenting a persuasive […]
Virtual instructor-led training, or VILT, is education facilitated by an instructor that can occur in a synchronous (live) or asynchronous (self-scheduled or reviewed) virtual format. This saves valuable time and money for the utility, the instructor, and the student. Industries use VILT to train and onboard employees and colleges offer undergraduate and graduate VILT programs. […]
Humans use forms of artificial intelligence (AI) every day. Chances are, you have an AI-based personal assistant within arm’s reach right now. As technology has advanced, we have explored more ways to use AI such as making tasks easier, making decisions with swift data analysis, and predicting trends for both industry and personal use. An […]
