US SMR firm Deep Fission sees customer pipeline swell to 18.5GW, on the back of growing data center interest
Has already inked a 2GW agreement with Endeavour
The rapid expansion of AI and data center infrastructure is creating unprecedented demand for stable, high-density power, making Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) an increasingly viable and attractive solution.
This development indicates a growing commitment from critical infrastructure sectors to SMRs, signaling their potential to address the energy bottleneck facing next-generation compute and industrial growth.
The explicit link between data centers and SMRs strengthens the case for nuclear power as a foundational element of the future digital economy, shifting SMRs from theoretical to practical deployment.
