AI in Nuclear Energy Council

The end of leap seconds is not just a technical footnote—it’s a systemic risk for AI in nuclear safety. On October 15, 2026, the General Conference on Weights and Measures voted to replace leap seconds with leap hours, allowing up to 3,600 seconds of drift before correction. This change, detailed in Nature’s report at https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-026-03329-z?error=cookies_not_supported&code=070d1763-bc79-4b3f-a476-413ea8e87717, creates a new vulnerability: AI models trained on continuous time may fail during massive time jumps. How will regulators ensure that digital twins and predictive maintenance systems in SMRs and reactor operations remain reliable when time skips by an hour? This is not a hypothetical—this is the new safety frontier.
