DOE's Nuclear-Powered AI Data Centers: A New Era
Update: 2025-12-17
Description
The Department of Energy is pioneering a groundbreaking initiative: building AI data centers on federal land, powered by nuclear energy. This public-private partnership aims to have these centers operational by 2027. Sites like Idaho National Laboratory, Oak Ridge Reservation, Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant, and Savannah River Site are under consideration. Major tech companies are also exploring similar partnerships. The government is heavily investing in advanced nuclear reactors, with a goal to have at least three producing sustained nuclear reactions by July 4th. This collaboration aims to meet the massive energy needs of AI, using a stable and controllable power source, and helping tech companies meet their climate goals.
