Comment on Why data centers want to have their own nuclear reactors

  I’d say it’s imaginary if they don’t exist. Your claim that, “They’re currently being deployed in industrial settings around the US.” isn’t really accurate, is it?

  I’d consider signed agreements as part of the “being deployed” process but yeah, I haven’t been able to find evidence of any currently active deployments. I wouldn’t call it a “moonshot” though when there’s so many in the works is all.

  Not really sure how NuScale is relevant as that’s (or at least the project in the article is) utility-level power and not really the same thing.

    They’re both SMRs, right?
