Two Toshiba 4S reactors at the 50 MW version can cost about $3,000,000,000.

Two of those produces 100 MW.

They don't require refueling for around 30 years. $6,000,000,000 to power a 100 MW datacenter when we're talking about $500,000,000,000 is not too dramatic. Especially consider the amortized yearly cost.
