Can you believe that something as small as a micro nuclear reactor could be the key to solving all of our big energy crises and this is not just for data centers but for entire industries and even, one day, on the moon because we definitely want to live there too since earth is overpopulating.
Westinghouse has a microreactor called eVinci and that's the one of referring to. It's able to deliver 5MW of energy and that's enough to run a small town or a data center for almost a decade.
It's good that these innovations are coming up because nowadays the demand for more power is only going up.
Look at the speed with which AI-driven technologies are advancing and all these new tech company startups need reliable energy.
We're currently relying on such delicate energy sources for all that we as individuals do and the industries do, it's no wonder global warming and climate change has become a problem. I believe nuclear power is the best solution right now. Infact, nuclear might be the only realistic answer to keep up with how fast our technology is moving now. Solar panels or wind farms will not be able to fill that gap alone.
We also have the potential to use these same reactors in places as extreme as the moon like I mentioned earlier. Powering a massive server farm alone, and we're struggling with energy so we shouldn't think of colonizing the moon with more powerful energy sources like the reactor. Some people have the fear of the nuclear reactors being too dangerous and it is, but I believe we can control it somehow.
