An intriguing calculation shows how much reactor power can support AI industries. One H100 GPU, crucial for AI training, consumes about 2 kW. A single reactor could power roughly 20,000 GPUs, equivalent to a data center’s worth of computing. Such reactors could be mobile, factory-produced units, capable of providing gigawatt-scale electricity in a compact form.
This capability presents a transformative opportunity: portable, low-cost nuclear power could meet the explosive energy needs of AI, enabling rapid innovation and scaling, with the potential to democratize clean energy at unprecedented levels.
