Startup unveils 3D-printed thorium reactor for AI data centers

Nuclear tech startup Ampera has unveiled a 3D-printed, subcritical, solid-state thorium reactor module designed to power AI data centers. The company claims this factory-built design is the first of its kind and aims for mass production to reduce costs and carbon footprints. Ampera's reactor is intended to provide up to 30 MWe and can be integrated with waste heat recovery or conventional power modules, with potential applications in defense and maritime sectors. AI

IMPACT Could provide a novel, potentially greener power source for the energy-intensive AI industry.

RANK_REASON Product launch of a nuclear reactor module for data centers, not a core AI release.
