Google says it has struck a deal with Kairos Power to build seven small nuclear reactors in the United States.

As such, Google, like several other big tech firms, are turning to the nuclear power industry in order to meet growing energy demands.. The pair plan to create as many as seven small nuclear reactors in the United States over the coming decade. “This agreement is part of our efforts to develop and commercialize a broad portfolio of advanced clean electricity technologies to power our global data centers and offices.
