The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) is catalyzing innovative ambitions in the energy sector, particularly for nuclear startups developing Small Modular Reactors (SMR). This technology promises to meet the increasing energy demand generated by the expansion of AI, offering a reliable and carbon-free solution.

SMRs represent a significant breakthrough in nuclear energy production, thanks to their ability to be manufactured in a factory and then transported to the site for installation, thus reducing construction time and costs. Modularity also allows for flexible scalability, adapting to the specific needs of customers without the massive investment required by traditional reactors.
