Google on Monday signed a deal to get electricity from small nuclear reactors to help power artificial intelligence.
The agreement to buy energy from reactors built by Kairos Power came just weeks after word that Three Mile Island, the site of America’s worst nuclear accident, will restart operations to provide energy to Microsoft.
“We believe that nuclear energy has a critical role to play in supporting our clean growth and helping to deliver on the progress of AI,” Google senior director of energy and climate said during a briefing.
“The grid needs these kinds of clean, reliable sources of energy that can support the build out of these technologies.”
No financial details were disclosed.
