If you recognize that data centers are critical for modern technology but resent them for driving up electricity costs, you will love SMRs, or small modular reactors (SMRs). These cutting-edge nuclear power plants are designed to provide scalable electricity for heavy power users.
The SMR is revolutionary because of its clean, reliable power generation and size. Microreactors can fit in shipping containers and provide enough power for 1,000 to 5,000 homes—1 to 5 megawatts (MW). A single SMR that can power a steel factory, a semiconductor plant, or other large industrial sites is essentially a cylinder only 15 feet in diameter. Only a few SMRs would be required to power a hyperscale data center. Some can be located at the user’s site, not miles away.
