Nuclear power for AI data centers: NANO Nuclear–Tillman deal, NuScale–TVA talks, army microreactors
NANO Nuclear and Tillman have signed a nuclear power agreement to supply AI data centers (24 August 2026). Meanwhile, NuScale's data center strategy hinges on its talks with TVA, and according to Barron's, microreactors arriving at US Army bases could also open a path toward data centers.
Who is affected and how
- energy specialist
- When planning data center power supply, small modular reactor and microreactor options are worth building into long-term supply plans as a separate scenario.
- plant manager
- When choosing energy-intensive sites, watch where campuses are emerging that are built on nuclear power and offer locally generated electricity.
