Nuclear energy for artificial intelligence

To fuel the enormous energy demands of systems that support generative artificial intelligence a well-known company, that has a monopoly for example in the online search market and other widespread applications, would be willing to use multiple small modular nuclear reactors (the first module is expected to be used by 2030, but first it will be necessary to obtain all the certifications from the authorities that regulate the nuclear sector). It is estimated that the demand in general for data processing centers could about triple by 2030, but some argue that it is not clear what the real consumption of artificial intelligence alone is; then as far as expensive nuclear modules built in factories instead of in a certain outdoor site there is talk of not respecting economies of scale very much and there are also problems related to the disposal of radioactive waste.
