The biggest nuclear power plant in the United States is not a single hulking reactor, but a sprawling complex whose scale is measured in gigawatts and square miles. Its turbines quietly push out enough electricity to anchor a regional grid,

All the different types of small modular reactors generate heat the same way: by splitting heavy atoms and capturing the heat into a variety of materials — like water, liquid metal or molten salt — that circulate through water to generate steam that drives a turbine.

If you have a redundant nuclear aircraft carrier lying around, you can give HGP Intelligent Energy a call. The Texas-based developer wants to repurpose the nuclear reactors used to power carriers to generate electricity for onshore data centers.

For Ukraine, regaining control of the plant is not just about undoing an illegal seizure. It is central to the country’s postwar energy independence. Before the war, the plant supplied roughly a quarter of the country’s electricity needs. Its generation capacity would be vital for powering reconstruction efforts, energy experts say.

It aims to attract data centers and other energy-intensive industries. Officials break ground on first-of-its-kind underground nuclear reactor: 'For decades to come' first appeared on The Cool Down.
