Westinghouse Electric Company, Cameco Corporation, and Brookfield Asset Management announced a U.S. federal partnership to accelerate nuclear power deployment, targeting $80 billion in new reactors.

Google says that turning an old power plant back on is “the fastest path to unlock large-scale nuclear power to meet AI growth in the near-term.” The company is also working with NextEra and Kairos Power to develop next-generation nuclear reactors, but those advanced designs still face lengthy certification and permitting processes.

NextEra Energy and Google have reached an agreement to restart an Iowa nuclear power plant shut five years ago, the companies said on Monday, in another sign that data-center power demand is renewing interest in U.

Energy Secretary Chris Wright joins 'The Sunday Briefing' to discuss the impact of the government shutdown on nuclear modernization, plans for testing, AI-driven energy demand and efforts to expand U.

Google is working with NextEra to reopen the Duane Arnold Energy Center in Iowa to power the tech company's data centers.

U.S. nuclear power generation is set to rise, analysts at Wood Mackenzie said, as surging demand driven by data centers strains grids across the country and a wave of tech companies sign deals to source power from the zero-carbon resource.

China is emerging as a fierce competitor to the US in the race to build small modular reactors and fusion that can help power data centers.

The head of the Atomic Energy Organisation of Iran has said the country’s new nuclear construction projects are continuing, and said locations would soon be announced for eight new units covered in a contract signed with Russia.
