AI’s power demand is reviving interest in nuclear energy — from tech companies signing deals for reactor output to a new wave of small modular reactors built to feed data centers. This hub tracks how nuclear power is being tied to AI infrastructure, the companies and deals involved, and what it could mean for energy-constrained markets like Georgia.
A small modular reactor is a compact, factory-built nuclear plant under 300 megawatts. AI companies are betting billions on them to keep power-hungry data centers running around the clock.
