Data Centers Innovate with Nuclear and Fiber Tech

🐿️ The Squirrel's Take
TerraPower's reactor design could directly supply power to AI data centers, but the Phoenix heat study underscores the urgent need for waste heat management.
💡 Why it matters
The combination of nuclear power and faster fiber could enable more efficient AI computing, but the heat impact in Phoenix shows data centers are becoming a local climate concern.

TerraPower's nuclear reactor offers a strategic advantage for powering AI data centers, while Relativity Networks raises $22 million for hollow-core fiber that transmits data 30% faster. A study shows data centers raise nearby temperatures by up to 4 degrees Celsius in Phoenix.
