Zaranthos The world needs this! Even if the entire AI experiment failed, which it won't, unless Skynet gets us, propelling nuclear power to the point SMR is safe and available to the masses would be a huge win for humanity. People, communities, humanitarian organizations, etc. could all have easy access to abundant power anywhere in the world. If they could be deployed to disaster zones they could easily save thousands of lives per year provided they proved to be safe for rapid deployment. It would also help reduce data center water usage by providing more power for alternative cooling methods that are less reliant on water usage. They would also pretty much solve the high electricity rates problem driven by AI since any company could simply supply their own power with excess generation capacity made available to the local grid to reduce energy costs to the public. Modern nuclear, especially well designed SMR is vastly superior to older nuclear reactors. We now have the ability to burn more fissile material, create less waste, and even burn old nuclear waste material. In the grand scheme even old nuclear was more environmentally friendly but reactor meltdown fears and nuclear waste provided fuel for the anti-nuclear propaganda. The developing world still needs massive amounts of power and nuclear is probably the most viable long term with thorium as a potential successor as well. Reply
Pierce2623 Thermal electric generator like a Peltier unit? Aren’t those significantly less efficient than using the heat to spin a turbine generator? Reply
DRagor It was not long ago when whole internet was joking that soon you would need nuclear reactor to power RTX 9090 card. Looks like someone took all those jokes for real … Reply
