Big Tech’s Billion-Dollar Bet on Nuclear Fission Startups
Big Tech’s Billion-Dollar Bet on Nuclear Fission Startups Looking for insights into how Big Tech giants like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Microsoft are securing reliable power for their data-hungry AI systems? These companies are investing heavily in nuclear fission startups, a move driven by the skyrocketing demand for electricity in the U.S. As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, reliable and scalable energy sources like small modular reactors (SMRs) are becoming essential. Nuclear fission, unlike experimental fusion technologies, is a proven and increasingly popular solution to meet the growing power needs of modern data centers.                         Image Credits:Micha Pawlitzki/ Getty Images Why Is Nuclear Fission Gaining Ground? After decades of stagnation and plant closures, nuclear fission is making a comeback. Today’s advanced fission technologies, particularly SMRs (small modular reactors) , offer scalable, cost-effective solutions with enhanced safety features. Unlike t…
