On Monday, the company said it&#8217;s building its first small modular reactor (SMR) in Tennessee, with energy expected to start flowing by 2030.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">The deal could deliver about 500 megawatts of capacity for Google&#8217;s data centers in Tennessee and Alabama, using Kairos Power&#8217;s advanced reactor technology in partnership with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA).<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">TVA CEO Don Moul framed the project as bigger than just Google&#8217;s energy needs. Nuclear is the bedrock of the future of energy security, he said, adding that Google&#8217;s investment helps shoulder the cost and risk of developing new nuclear tech without passing the burden to TVA&#8217;s 10 million customers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">It&#8217;s the latest sign of how energy-intensive AI has become. Back in October, Google signed deals to source power from multiple SMRs. This Tennessee project shows the company is willing to bet on first-of-its-kind nuclear solutions to keep its data centers and AI ambitions running on clean, steady power.<\/p>\n<p class=\"yf-1090901\">This article first appeared on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gurufocus.com\/news\/3067419\/google-bets-on-nuclear-to-power-ai-data-centers-by-2030?r=caf6fe0e0db70d936033da5461e60141\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:GuruFocus;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">GuruFocus<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Google (NASDAQ:GOOGL) is turning to nuclear power to keep its AI-fueled future running.
