Nuclear reactors could power TRIC, commissioner says
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission commissioner suggests that nuclear reactors could power data centers at the Tahoe-Reno Industrial Center in Northern Nevada to address high electricity and water demands. This approach aims to alleviate strain on the local power grid and reduce dependence on potable water for cooling, a key concern for local opposition. However, regulatory challenges, nuclear waste management, and existing political opposition to nuclear facilities in Nevada remain significant hurdles.
