Since the dawn of 2023, prominent American technology firms and data center operators have forged alliances with 18 providers of nuclear fission power, boasting a combined installed capacity reserve of 32 gigawatts (GW). Nonetheless, the exact timelines and scopes of these projects remain in flux, grappling with an array of challenges encompassing technology, licensing, and cost. Some initiatives involve extending the operational lifespan of existing nuclear power plants or constructing novel large-scale light water reactors. Others are centered on cutting-edge nuclear reactor technologies, anticipated to lower costs and expedite deployment.
