To address the major challenges in the development of the nuclear power industrial internet—prominent industry barriers, inconsistent data standards, and high security and control risks, this paper proposes a solution guided by application needs. Leveraging new-generation technologies such as big data, edge computing, and artificial intelligence, we design a nuclear power industrial internet platform architecture that supports the development, operation, maintenance, and continuous upgrading of China’s nuclear power industrial information systems. Firstly, the overall architecture of the nuclear power industrial internet cloud-edge-terminal network is designed. This architecture addresses issues related to data, model, and application coordination within the platform by overcoming technological barriers such as multi-source heterogeneous data access, distributed data storage, and real-time intelligent computing through edge-cloud collaboration. It achieves the virtualization and containerization of edge nodes, network, and storage resources, meeting the requirements for elastic resource scheduling and cluster management. Subsequently, a layered security protection architecture is designed to address the platform’s security and privacy issues. Finally, the application of emerging technologies within the nuclear power platform is summarized and discussed, providing insights and prospects for future developments.
