AI-driven nuclear renaissance? Microsoft makes a deal to reopen Three Mile Island

in hive-109160 •  2 months ago 

It would be interesting to know how many nuclear power plants have closed and then reopened. Doesn't seem like that would be a very common occurrence. I imagine it is pretty expensive to get a nuclear powerplant refurbished and back up and running. They aren't particularly economical to begin with so Microsoft must think this AI stuff is going to be a really big deal :)

According to this video (around 50 seconds), it hasn't happened before in the US. So, I guess Palisades would probably be the first in 2025, and TMI would be the second in 2028. Though I'm not sure about the rest of the world, and there might be some others coming online in the US that I'm not aware of.
