Amazon AI Nuclear Reactor Investment Live | Google AI Nuclear Rector Investment Live | News18 | N18G
Amazon announced a series of deals Wednesday aimed at building out small modular nuclear reactors, becoming the latest major technology company to invest in nuclear energy as Big Tech contends with the extensive energy needs of artificial intelligence (AI).
As part of an agreement with Energy Northwest, a consortium of public utilities in Washington state, the e-commerce and cloud computing giant will support the construction of four small modular reactors.
Google has signed a “world first” deal to buy energy from a fleet of mini nuclear reactors to generate the power needed for the rise in use of artificial intelligence.
The US tech corporation has ordered six or seven small nuclear reactors (SMRs) from California’s Kairos Power, with the first due to be completed by 2030 and the remainder by 2035.
Google hopes the deal will provide a low-carbon solution to power datacentres, which require huge volumes of electricity. The company, owned by Alphabet, said nuclear provided “a clean, round-the-clock power source that can help us reliably meet electricity demands”.
