Google正利用下一代核能来满足其日益增长的人工智能需求。这家科技巨头已与田纳西谷管理局(TVA)合作,从田纳西州奥克里奇的Kairos Power Hermes 2反应堆获取电力,这是美国境内首份此类电力采购协议。

据计划,到2030年投入运营的Hermes 2演示工厂使用熔融氟化盐而非水作为冷却剂,使其能够在低压下运行并降低建设成本。一旦投入使用,它将为服务于Google田纳西州和阿拉巴马州数据中心的50MW输送电力。
The move supports Google's goal of deploying 500MW of nuclear capacity by 2035, part of its broader clean energy push. Google will also receive clean energy certificates through TVA, allowing it to offset emissions, even as demand from AI increases its carbon footprint.
Oak Ridge, once home to the Manhattan Project, is now leading nuclear’s future.
