I have covered several emerging nuclear power technologies in the past. Since the nuclear industry has a long history (the first fission reactors were built during WWII, in the early 1940s), there have been many flavors of advanced reactors. In this post we will look at Kairos Power, who is developing a “Pebble Bed” Reactor using an advanced “Flibe” coolant/heat transfer fluid. This ends up being an ideal design for future Artificial Intelligence (AI) server farms. Thus, Kairos Power, a US-based nuclear engineering company, recently inked a long-term deal with Google to develop and bring the company’s first SMR online “quickly and safely by 2030,” with continuing rollouts planned through 2035.
