We are living in the data center revolution.
Nearly everything in our lives is now linked to the vast architecture of information crisscrossing the planet, including our work, our communication, our banking, and our entertainment.
With the rise in data centers has come rising energy demands.
Artificial intelligence and machine-learning technologies require tremendous amounts of stable electricity generation, and some reports estimate that data centers could consume up to 12% of total U.S. energy production in 2028.
So, how are we going to meet those needs?
Nuclear has the potential to be a great partner for the data centers of today and tomorrow — but there are some hurdles to clear.
Read on for the advantages and challenges of powering data centers with nuclear energy.
