Deep Atomic, a Zurich-based company, has introduced the MK60 small modular reactor (SMR), designed specifically for data centers. If this doesn’t prove that the nuclear sector, specifically SMRs, will gain momentum from data center adoption, what will? The MK60 is a compact light water SMR that generates up to 60 MWe and provides an additional 60 MW of cooling. This modular reactor is intended to meet the high energy demands of data centers, including those supporting cloud services, cryptocurrency, and AI, which often face power limitations and seek sustainable solutions. SMRs fit the bill for a number of reasons which should be clear from the name. Small and modular. William Theron, the founder of Deep Atomic, highlighted the scalability of…
