Could Small Modular Reactors Soon Power Data Centers?

... electricity consumption has grown by around 12% per year since 2017, more than four times faster than the rate of total electricity consumption. This massive energy demand exposes some shortcomings of traditional energy sources such as coal, gas and large nuclear power plants (NPPs), which often struggle to deliver what modern data centers need the most: flexibility, fast scalability and environmental sustainability. Could small modular reactors (SMRs), with their fundamentally new approach to powering data centers, become ...

Nuclear Power and the Global South

... achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement. Some countries of the Global South, such as Ghana, Jamaica, Mongolia, Morocco and the UAE, have also endorsed this declaration. Specifics of nuclear power generation Electricity generation at traditional large nuclear power plants (NPPs) often comes with higher costs compared to the most common carbon-free alternatives. It also requires significant upfront capital investment and careful site selection. Building large NPPs is a long and sluggish process that can take up to 20 years ...
