Startup Kairos Power plans to build small reactors to help supply electricity to the tech company’s data centers.

Google is officially putting its weight behind advanced “mini” nuclear reactors in an effort to produce new clean to meet growing AI energy demands. On Tuesday, the company announced an agreement with California-based small nuclear reactor (SMR) startup Kairos Power to commission the development of six or seven reactors that could add 500 megawatts of clean energy to the US electrical grid within the next decade.

Google is making a shift toward nuclear energy to power its artificial intelligence (AI) data centres, signing a deal with nuclear tech startup Kairos Power to use small nuclear reactors.

Alphabet's Google said on Monday it signed the world's first corporate agreement to buy power from multiple small modular reactors as the technology company looks to meet electricity demand from artificial intelligence.

Google announced on Monday that it signed a corporate agreement to buy nuclear energy from several small modular reactors developed by California-based Kairos Power.

Google is turning to nuclear energy to help power its AI drive. On Monday, the company said it will partner with the startup Kairos Power to build seven small nuclear reactors in the US. The deal targets adding 500 megawatts of nuclear power from the small modular reactors (SMRs) by the decade’s end.

Google announced a deal on Monday to purchase energy from small nuclear reactors that the startup Kairos Power plans to start bringing online in the U.S. by 2030. Why it matters: It's Google's first nuclear foray as the tech giant — and its peers — hunt for zero-carbon power to fuel energy-thirsty AI data centers.

Google is the latest tech company to seek nuclear energy to cope with the high demand of electricity propelled by its development of AI.US technology giant Google said on Monday that it plans to purchase nuclear power in order to operate data centers.
