Miniature nuclear reactors could be the answer to sustainable datacenter growth
"The biggest challenge is going to be convincing people in industry and the people where these things are gonna [be deployed], that it is safe, and viable, and environmentally friendly," Howard added.
The good news is that, depending on how the SMRs are built, they may not need to be refueled all that often. According to Omdia, the reactors used in nuclear submarines only require refueling roughly every 10 years and newer designs could push that to 30 or even 40 years.this summer found that SMRs produce 35x more waste compared to larger reactor designs.For SMRs to gain mainstream adoption among datacenter operators, they must be economically viable.
LCOE refers to the estimated revenue required to build and operate a generator over its lifetime. And on the optimistic end of this equation, this would put NuScale's reactors within spitting distance of natural gas and onshore wind at a LCOE of roughly $37/MWh, according to the USFor SMR vendors, this comparison is only going to become more favorable with time.
