Google Goes All-in on Nuclear

Alex Koyfman/ Oct 21, 2024 Google Goes All-in on Nuclear Earlier this week, Google took another big step into the field of nuclear energy as it signed a corporate agreement with nuclear startup Kairos Power to develop small modular reactors across the county to satisfy exploding power demand from its vast fleet of data centers. Though still facing years of regulatory and bureaucratic red tape, the project ultimately hopes to bring up to 500 megawatts of new production capacity online. At the moment, Kairos has NRC approval for the development of a demonstration model of its fluoride, salt-cooled high temperature reactor, with an expected activation date in 2027 — the first of its kind to make it out of the concept stage. To be clear, while this deal marks a major milestone in the growing relationship between Big Tech and nuclear power, this project constitutes a relatively tiny slice of the new nuclear market big tech will have to build to feed the AI revolution. Five hundred megawatts represents one one-millionth the total energy demand that the world’s data centers are going to be consuming, per year, by the end of the decade — a 160% increase over today’s numbers. >>> Read the full article here.
