TECHNOLOGY LICENSING OPPORTUNITY: ReactorCast

Solicitation description

Workforce shortages and uncertainties have derailed nuclear projects worldwide—causing delays, cost overruns and lost investor confidence. The specialized talent nuclear needs to succeed requires years to develop. The ReactorCast platform answers human capital questions, coupled to strategic decisions and financial considerations, before the issues become crises. ReactorCast is a custom system dynamics platform that models and ties strategic decisions and investment considerations with workforce requirements across the entire lifecycle of nuclear programs—from initial planning through decades of operation to eventual decommissioning. The platform provides real-time analytics and visual dashboards that track workforce flows from identified populations to education and training programs through employment across utilities, developers, contractors, regulators and support organizations. ReactorCast also models the impact of policy, regulatory and investment decisions on workforce development trajectories. Unlike individual HR management systems, ReactorCast operates at the strategic level—modeling the workforce potential to answer questions that matter most to executives, investors and leaders: Can this organization or region supply the talent we need? What does workforce availability mean for our site selection? How do different technology choices impact long-term staffing costs? These aren’t HR questions—they’re business strategy questions. The underlying modeling methodology— developed at Los Alamos and licensed to the IAEA as the basis for their national nuclear workforce planning workshops and tools—has been applied internationally across numerous nuclear programs LA-UR-26-23908 Technical Specifications Custom developed software for system dynamics modeling Modular, extensible design for evolving analysis needs Local deployment (secure, non-cloud infrastructure framework) Interfaces with external data sources and planning tools Outputs include: regional, statewide or national mapping, workforce opportunities and competency projections, gap analyses and scenario-based deployment comparisons For those realizing new nuclear deployments, ReactorCast models workforce requirements across different reactor technologies and sites. Compare the human capital implications of a large light-water reactor versus multiple small modular reactors. Assess whether different reactor technologies affect your ability to recruit and retain talent in specific regions. Understand how workforce costs—which can exceed capital costs over a plant’s lifetime—vary based on technology and location decisions made today. ReactorCast separates serious strategic planning from optimistic assumptions, giving stakeholders the intelligence to make informed decisions about workforce-related project risk. Advantages Reactor Technology Differentiation: Different reactor technologies may potentially require fundamentally different workforce profiles. ReactorCast can model the varying...
