Is nuclear a viable power solution for data centers?

“Newer designs require a lot less operator intervention than the reactors of the past, which reduces the risk of human error and increases reliability and safety."

"A nuclear reactor is not only carbon-free, but it requires a substantially smaller footprint than wind and solar, and its output isn’t dependent on the weather.”
