"In this survey, average response from hyperscalers and colocation providers suggests that roughly one-third of data centers in 2030 will use 100% onsite power, a 22% increase from the previous report. Expectations for onsite power solutions are rising amid weakening confidence in grid delivery timelines. In parallel, 73% of respondents report actively evaluating or selecting...

Instead of building large-scale fission reactors, which are often accompanied by time and cost overruns, efforts are underway to switch to small modular reactors (SMR) that can be built at scale at a central facility and deployed easily worldwide.

With the SOLO, Terra Innovatum is going a step further by building micromodular nuclear reactors with...

The Department of Energy (DOE) noted that less than 5% of the potential energy in the USA's nuclear fuel is extracted after five years of operation in a commercial reactor. It says recycling used nuclear fuel could increase resource utilisation by 95%, reduce waste by 90%, and decrease the amount of uranium needed to operate...

As the world steamrolls toward more nuclear power, countries looking to cut costs must do a better job of planning — in part by building reactors in factories instead of on site, a new study says.

Why it matters: The Nuclear Innovation Alliance study says a successful nuclear build-out could slash costs similar to the...

Natura Resources and NGL Energy have announced a strategic agreement to pair advanced nuclear technology with industrial-scale water desalination.

The collaboration aims to combine Natura’s 100-megawatt (MW) molten-salt reactor (MSR-100) with NGL’s massive water treatment infrastructure in the Permian Basin.
