Everstar Launches Gordian Research: Nuclear Knowledge for Faster Deployments

NEW YORK, NY -- September 2, 2025 – Everstar today announced the launch of Gordian Research, a platform that allows engineers to engineer, while Everstar nukes their paperwork. Gordian integrates and understands nuclear knowledge from public and private documents, securely and without leaking any customer data to model training. It’s already in use with customers across the operating reactor, new reactor, and radioactive materials industries.

Today Everstar announces Gordian Research, setting a new standard for AI acceleration in the safety-focused world of nuclear energy. Built by a world-class team of nuclear and AI experts from Google, Microsoft, SpaceX, Tesla, Nuclear Regulatory Commission, and the CIA, Gordian expertly organizes complex nuclear information and slashes document-heavy workflows by 80% or more. It’s outperforming the biggest AI competitors on nuclear-specific research outcomes, and industry insiders are reaping its benefits.

“This is why I built Everstar,” said Founder and CEO Kevin Kong. “We understand frontier AI and the nuclear industry’s problems deeply. Our team has been in those trenches. And now we’re here to fundamentally change how nuclear teams operate and help unleash nuclear power as an abundant energy source.”

What is Gordian Research?

Gordian Research includes:

• Lightning fast search: Rich previews of documents and AI-assisted summaries before you ever download a PDF.

• Nuclear smart chat: Rapid, thoughtful, and sources-cited answers to the hardest questions, like the mentor you wish didn’t retire.

• Curated knowledge bases: Direct conversations with collections of documents, from operating experience databases to plant licensing history.

• Precedent search: Search through decades of regulatory history to associate full chains of licensing back-and-forth and learn what yields approvals fastest.

Why use Gordian?

Everstar benchmarked Gordian against Anthropic, Google and OpenAI’s latest models. Gordian beat all three on correctness, groundedness, relevance, and retrieval. It's nuclear-native expertise delivered especially high scores in relevance for complex queries.

Customers are choosing Gordian because of its:

• Understanding: Keyword searches miss industry-specific nuance. Gordian recognizes the relationships between concepts the way experts do, delivering answers that other tools overlook.

• Accuracy: Gordian integrates the latest information as it is generated by regulators, utilities, and clients. No models need to be trained and re-trained, and sources are cited based on the retrieved references.

• Security: Users can trust Everstar with their documents, knowing they stay within architecture designed for SOC2, FEDRAMP, and export controls. This information is then used seamlessly for search, chat, and document drafting. No customer data is used to train models.

How can customers unlock more value?

Customers are seeing broader business impact by partnering with Everstar on the next level of AI integration. Examples include:

• Determining whether regulatory approvals are needed: End-to-end screening, evaluation, and output of internal and public-facing documentation, turning weeks of team members’ effort into minutes

• License amendment requests: Gordian’s strengths truly shine in researching regulatory precedent, then using it to generate hundreds of pages of accurate content for even the most complex applications like license renewal, cutting drafting time by 80%

• Reactor construction: Gordian speaks “new reactor” too, and can develop environmental and safety documentation in a fraction of the human time, driving the rapid deployment today’s energy crisis demands

What’s next?

Gordian’s next capabilities include vision models that analyze complex schematics to support engineering analyses and root-cause evaluations, equipping teams not just to respond faster, but to anticipate challenges before they arise. These next‑generation features are already in pilot testing, with partners shaping the future of nuclear deployment alongside Everstar.

Gordian Research is now available to qualified partners and early customers. This launch is part of Everstar’s broader vision to drive nuclear deployment by providing AI accelerations. To learn more or request a free trial for your innovation team, contact hello@everstar.ai
