Forged Operations, the company behind the AI-native compliance platform for nuclear, today announced it has partnered with Accelerant Solutions, a nuclear workforce and compliance firm with nearly two decades of industry experience, to deliver a Total Quality Management System (TQMS) to nuclear operators.
- The platform can be delivered as a fully managed service or in more flexible configurations to suit Tier 1 operators, covering audits, corrective action, regulatory compliance, and supplier oversight, powered by the Forged Platform and built on Accelerant's established QA governance frameworks and audit methodologies.
- lewis, the AI quality manager, accelerates Accelerant's proven QA methodologies by handling routine workflows so their expert staff can dedicate more time to the high-value oversight only experienced engineers can provide.
- Designed to align with 10 CFR Part 50 and Part 52, CNSC NSCA requirements, and NQA-1 standards.
- Available to utilities, reactor developers, and government operators, including the wave of SMR and advanced-reactor projects that need QA infrastructure from the ground up.
The announcement comes as the nuclear industry faces growing regulatory complexity and accelerating new-reactor development, putting pressure on operators to modernize compliance operations rather than scale headcount.
A managed service built on proven QA governance
The offering runs as a managed service built around Accelerant's established QA governance frameworks and audit methodologies, now powered by the Forged Platform and lewis AI. Rather than asking operators to build QA capabilities from scratch, the service delivers audits, corrective action, regulatory compliance, and supplier oversight in one system, with AI agents executing routine workflows and expert staff concentrating on judgment-intensive oversight.
“Nuclear quality assurance carries real consequences for safety, for compliance, for the people and communities these plants serve. We built Anvil with the rigor and intelligence this work demands, and to deliver it we needed a partner who understands those stakes at a program level. Accelerant Solutions has spent two decades doing exactly that.”
Kyle George, CEO, Forged Operations
A complementary partnership
Accelerant Solutions brings nearly two decades of experience serving utilities, reactor developers, and government operators across the globe. The two companies pair lewis, the nuclear compliance AI built on the Forged Platform, with Accelerant's deep program-level QA expertise.
“Quality assurance is foundational to everything nuclear operators do, and it deserves better infrastructure than the industry has historically had access to. Forged Operations has built a platform with the rigor and intelligence this work demands. Together, we are delivering a QA capability that raises the standard for what operators can expect.”
Billy Mack, President, Accelerant Solutions
Together, we aim to set a new standard for quality assurance across the nuclear fleet.
