Google is pioneering an unprecedented approach to power its AI ambitions by reviving a nuclear plant that closed in 2020. This marks the first time a U.S. nuclear facility will be restarted after decommissioning, creating a new blueprint for tech’s energy crisis.
In a strategic move to reduce dependence on Russian uranium, the US government is offering energy companies access to Cold War-era plutonium stockpiles. The initiative aims to accelerate development of advanced nuclear reactors amid growing electricity demands from AI data centers.
The United States is taking unprecedented steps to weaken Russia’s dominance in nuclear fuel supplies by offering energy companies access to weapons-grade plutonium from Cold War-era stockpiles, according to reports from the Financial Times. The Department of Energy has published an application process that would allow nuclear energy groups to request up to 19 megatonnes of the government’s plutonium reserves.
Amazon has disclosed plans for one of the United States’ first small modular nuclear reactors to address its substantial energy requirements for artificial intelligence operations. The Cascade Advanced Energy Facility in Washington state will eventually generate up to 960 megawatts of power. Construction is expected to begin before 2030, with operations commencing in the following decade.
Amazon has revealed what one of the nation’s pioneering small modular nuclear reactors will look like as the tech behemoth seeks cleaner energy solutions for its power-intensive operations. According to reports, the company is turning to nuclear power to meet the substantial electricity demands of its artificial intelligence and cloud computing services, marking a significant shift in how major technology corporations approach their energy infrastructure.
