Jake Thompson, the company's director of novel nuclear and special projects, told the FT the reactor could provide energy for data centers, mining, and remote communities.
U.S. data center power use is expected to roughly triple between 2023 and 2030 and will require about 47 gigawatts of new generation capacity, according to Goldman Sachs estimates.
In March 2023, Last Energy completed four deals worth $18.9 billion for 34 reactors in Europe. [18] Kugelmass gave a speech at SXSW that month outlining how to reignite nuclear power by focusing on reducing the cost and timeline of construction. [19] In October 2023, Last Energy showcased a prototype of its nuclear reactor module in Poland. [20]
Amazon on Wednesday announced plans to invest in nuclear power production to fuel its data centers with clean energy, a key part of the e-commerce giant's push to expand AI-powered services.
TerraPower is an American nuclear reactor design and development engineering company headquartered in Bellevue, Washington. TerraPower is developing a class of nuclear fast reactors termed traveling wave reactors (TWR). [1] TWR places a small core of enriched fuel in the center of a much larger mass of non-fissile material, in this case ...
A fission fragment reactor is a nuclear reactor that generates electricity by decelerating an ion beam of fission byproducts instead of using nuclear reactions to generate heat. By doing so, it bypasses the Carnot cycle and can achieve efficiencies of up to 90% instead of 40–45% attainable by efficient turbine-driven thermal reactors.
Google could one day use nuclear energy to power its AI data centers. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company is "evaluating technologies like small modular nuclear reactors."
The small modular reactor (SMR) is a class of small nuclear fission reactor, designed to be built in a factory, shipped to operational sites for installation and then used to power buildings or other commercial operations. The term SMR refers to the size, capacity and modular construction. Reactor type and the nuclear processes may vary.
