Global data center power demand is forecast to rise by 160% to 165% by 2030, with AI driving the majority of this surge. By 2030, worldwide electricity use by data centers is expected to reach 945 TWh. By 2035, demand is projected to soar further to 1,300 TWh globally, with AI making up 70% of total data center power.

Nuclear power reactor is considered to be one of the most viable solutions to fulfill this surge in energy demand caused by AI. 

In this talk, we will examine what is the current state of nuclear power generation, what is the projected growth, cost involved and comparison with conventional energy solutions and alternate energy sources such as Solar and Wind.
