alt Hacker NewsI don't know about this one in particular, but generally data centers seem to be moving to nuclear energy for power generation.

There has been a lot of talk about investment/plans for microreactors -- but have any been approved, much less gone into operation?
AFAIK recent data centers are all either:
1. connected to the existing grid, or
2. using natural gas generators

Nuclear plants take over a decade to build. Data centers take a few months or years. New nuclear isn't going to power any data centers for a long, long time.

We are also building a nuclear power plant in the county. I'm excited for the growth that's going to bring. The other reply to this comment is uneducated. Nuclear is incredibly safe.

Generally, where?
Not in practice they're not. They want to. But can you actually link to any data centers powered by new nuclear reactors?
