The American Nuclear Society has published analysis on how nuclear energy could support the rapidly growing electricity demand from data centers, weighing options including new reactor construction, small modular reactors, and power purchase agreements with existing plants. The piece arrives as grid operators including NERC warn that surging data center interconnection requests are complicating demand forecasting. Several hyperscalers, including Microsoft and Amazon, have already signed nuclear PPAs. The ANS analysis is likely to inform ongoing federal and state policy discussions about clean baseload power for AI infrastructure.
