Startup aims to power data centers with 3D-printed nuclear reactors

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A startup is developing 3D-printed nuclear reactor modules intended to power data centers. These modules require a neutron source, along with materials like Uranium-235 or Plutonium-239, to breed weapons-grade U-233. The company claims the reactors are safe without an external neutron source. AI

IMPACT This development could offer a novel, high-power energy source for AI data centers, potentially impacting infrastructure and energy consumption trends.

    Hurrah, you can now print your balcony nuclear power station. Just add a neutron source as beam or Uranium 235 or Plutonium 239 and you can breed your own weapons-grade U-233. Just to power your datacenter! Without that neutron source its safe! https://www. theregister.com/system…
