Meta is reportedly seeking to use nuclear power to run its US data centers as a shift towards cleaner energy sources.
A fresh report suggests that Meta could soon join the leagues of Google and Amazon in addressing global carbon emissions by shifting towards nuclear energy. The company is reportedly seeking proposals from potential nuclear energy suppliers to run its power-hungry data center across the US.
Meta aims to integrate nuclear reactors into its operations by 2030. These reactors could generate between one and four gigawatts of power, sufficient to sustain millions of homes. For context, a typical US nuclear reactor plant can generate 1 gigawatt of power. It was reported earlier this year, that Meta was planning to build a nuclear-powered data center but scrapped the plan because of the sighting of a rare species of bees near the proposed site.
