What Is Nuclear Power?

Nuclear power comes from splitting uranium atoms to release energy—not for bombs, but for clean, reliable juice.

It’s been around since the ‘40s and now makes up 9% of global power (World Nuclear, 2025).

Unlike solar that dips at night or wind that’s hit-or-miss, nuclear runs steady. It’s low-carbon and packs a punch—one plant can power a million homes, perfect for tech that never sleeps.

But there's also cons 👇🏽

How It Works?

It’s pretty simple: uranium-235 splits in a reactor through fission, kicking out heat. That heat turns water into steam, spins turbines, and generates electricity.

A single plant can churn out 1-2 gigawatts—enough to keep cities or AI hubs humming 24/7.

It’s safe, controlled, and built to last, delivering the kind of power tech breakthroughs crave.

Why It Matters?

AI is a power hog—data centers could claim 9% of U.S. electricity by 2030 (Goldman Sachs, 2025).

Solar and wind can fade, but nuclear is always on, cutting millions of tons of CO2 per plant yearly.

It’s a big deal for creators too—stable grids mean no hiccups when minting 700+ podcast episodes or scaling blockchain projects.

This is energy that keeps the future lit. And we need to find a balance!

AI’s Nuclear Boost?

AI thrives on uninterrupted power, and nuclear delivers—no outages stalling those big data dreams.

It’s a two-way street: AI’s also tweaking nuclear ops, like predictive maintenance that could trim costs by 15% (INL, 2024).

For blockchain, picture AI agents running on nuclear juice, minting content onchain without a blink. It’s a combo that could supercharge creator tools.

Who’s Doing It?

Microsoft: Reviving Three Mile Island by 2028—$1.6B for 835MW to power AI.

Google: Partnering with Kairos Power—500MW from small modular reactors by 2030.

Amazon: Building SMRs in Washington—300MW soon for cloud and AI needs.

Meta: Seeking 1-4GW via a December 2024 RFP (request for proposoal)—AI ads need nuclear muscle.

U.S. Energy Dept: Turning 16 federal sites into nuclear-AI hubs, clean energy in tow.

This isn’t just talk—it’s happening now, and it’s creator and environmental -friendly too. And what we aim for 👇🏽

What’s Next?

Small modular reactors (SMRs) are popping off—60 in the works globally (World Nuclear, 2025).

These mini plants (300MW each) could roll out fast—Google’s eyeing six by 2035.

Fusion’s a long shot but buzzing, with Gates’ TerraPower testing.

The U.S. wants to triple nuclear to 300GW by 2050 (DOE, 2025)—that’s AI and blockchain fuel for years.

Our Take

Nuclear is looking like AI’s secret weapon—half of data centers might tap it by 2035, with renewables in the mix. It’s a win for creators—steady power keeps blockchain minting smooth, like those 700+ pods.

Challenges? Waste piles up, and builds like Vogtle’s $17B overrun hurt.

Still, this could power 30% of creator tech by 2030 if it scales right. Thoughts? Let us know!
