Kairos Power has announced that it has secured up to $100 million in funding from the Samsung Group for a project to build next-generation nuclear reactors tailored for Google's data centers.
Kairos Power is a nuclear reactor development company with a mission to deliver affordable and clean energy. The company focuses on developing fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactor (KP-FHR) technology, aiming to build next-generation systems that are safer and more efficient than traditional nuclear power generation.
The newly raised funds will be allocated to the construction project of next-generation reactors designed to support Google's electricity needs. As the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence drives up power consumption in data centers, Google is turning to nuclear energy as a reliable, carbon-free power source. This investment is expected to strengthen energy infrastructure and accelerate decarbonization efforts.
