AMZN Goes Nuclear

The world is betting big on AI, and Amazon is no exception. The firm is now eyeing the nuclear sector to help develop small modular reactors to sustain its AI boom.

Amazon Web Services recently announced its plan to explore the nuclear sector by signing a contract with Dominion Energy, Virginia’s utility company. As AWS explores new horizons in AI, the firm needs clean energy resources to bolster its AI products and services, pivoting towards the nuclear sector to help generate possible solutions.

Under the newly signed contract, Dominion Energy will help the firm explore and develop small modular reactors, thereby achieving its AI-centric power initiatives.

Apart from Amazon, Google and Microsoft are also making plans to explore the nuclear domain to strengthen AI-centric operations by offering zero-carbon emissions solutions.

“Nuclear is a safe source of carbon-free energy that can help power our operations and meet the growing demands of our customers. While helping us progress toward our Climate Pledge commitment to be net-zero carbon across our operations by 2040. One of the fastest ways to address climate change is by transitioning our society to carbon-free energy sources. And nuclear energy is both carbon-free and able to scale—which is why it’s an important area of investment for Amazon. Our agreements will encourage the construction of new nuclear technologies that will generate energy for decades to come.” As stated by Matt Garman, CEO of AWS.
