The Nuclear Renaissance Sails In: Offshore Reactors for a Cleaner Future Nuclear reactors powering coastal facilities and data centers might seem like a relic from a bygone era.
However, this notion is gaining traction as a viable solution for ports and AI data centers – starting with California, where nuclear energy has been largely absent since its prohibition in 1976.
The partnership between the Port of Long Beach and Bluecore Energy to develop small modular reactors (SMRs) on floating barges marks a significant step forward.
