Google just signed a landmark deal with the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to power its data centers with next-gen nuclear energy.
Here’s why this is huge:
• First ever U.S. utility agreement with a Generation IV molten-salt reactor from Kairos (Hermes 2)
• Starting in 2030 Oak Ridge, Tennessee will supply 50 MW of clean nuclear power to Google’s AI data centers
• Long term vision of 500 MW by 2035 transforming Oak Ridge (once home of the Manhattan Project) into a hub of nuclear innovation again
• This move is about solving the AI power crisis while staying carbon free
As AI workloads push energy grids to their limits, Google is betting on nuclear as the only scalable 24/7 clean solution.
Would you trust nuclear power to run the data centers behind the next wave of AI?
