Could Small Modular Reactors Soon Power Data Centers?

... with their fundamentally new approach to powering data centers, become a solution to this trilemma? We discussed this with Alexander Volgin, Project Director at Rosatom Energy Projects JSC. How viable from a technological and economic perspective are SMRs (in particular, KLT-40S and RITM-200) as an energy source for energy-intensive facilities such as data centers in Russia and abroad? What scenarios are realistic in the next five to 10 years in terms of commercial and logistical efficiency? Vladimir Likhachev, Elizaveta Lihacheva: Nuclear Power ...

Nuclear Power and the Global South

... is compatible with the parameters of the national energy system is especially important. They must also account for the possibility of temporary shutdowns of NPPs without the risk of disrupting the entire grid. Given the limited scale of the national energy sector, the construction of a large NPP seems inexpedient; therefore, exploring new types of nuclear power facilities, such as small modular reactors (SMRs), appears to be a promising solution. For the Global South, SMRs offer considerable advantages, as they significantly reduce construction and payback periods while increasing investment attractiveness.
