- Type
- Programme
- Where it sits
- It is an early example of a utility, an advanced reactor developer and a hyperscaler tying new nuclear supply to data centre demand.
- Constraint
- Operations are scheduled for 2030, so this is future supply and not currently operating (World Nuclear News report).
What we checked
- Reported capacity is up to 50 MW delivered to the TVA grid, with construction permits issued in November 2024. (source)
- Kairos states its Hermes demonstration reactors are under construction in Oak Ridge with NRC permits secured. (source)
