Radiant2026-10-21 01:31:58Radiant picked by U.S. Navy to power critical infrastructure with Kaleidos microreactorThe U.S. Navy has selected Radiant to deploy its Kaleidos microreactor at Naval Support Activity Crane in Indiana to supply power for critical infrastructure, according to ABMedia. The project centers on a 1-megawatt mobile microreactor built with a factory-fabricated design that can be transported by land, sea, or air and deployed on site. Radiant says the unit is plug-and-play, does not require cooling water, large-scale excavation, or major on-site construction, and can operate independently from the grid. Over a 20-year service life, each refueling is expected to provide up to five years of electricity. The report says the deal makes Radiant the only nuclear energy company working with the U.S. Navy, Army, and Air Force at the same time. Kaleidos is also undergoing testing at the DOME facility at Idaho National Laboratory, where the U.S. Department of Energy granted Radiant one year of exclusive access after a competitive process. The testing includes full-scale, full-power, and long-duration reactor trials using the same design intended for customer deployment. Navy and Army officials said the project still must pass design, prototype, environmental, site preparation, and regulatory stages before formal deployment.440
VanEck2026-10-07 04:49:30VanEck CEO says faster nuclear approvals could lift AI and BitcoinVanEck CEO Jan van Eck said allowing more nuclear power projects to move forward could support both artificial intelligence and Bitcoin. In his view, expanded nuclear output would raise the value of AI while also easing selling pressure on Bitcoin by giving miners access to cheaper energy. He pointed to strong bipartisan support for nuclear energy in the United States, with a goal of increasing nuclear power generation to four times the current level over the next 25 years. Van Eck cited the accelerated restart of the Three Mile Island reactor as evidence of that push. Separately, VanEck head of digital assets research Matthew Sigel said Bitcoin miners hold long-term power contracts and infrastructure that carry undervalued optionality. If miners shift toward AI contract revenue, he said, the need to sell Bitcoin could decline.440
data centers2026-08-28 01:51:22US data centers used nearly 40% of global power demand from the sector, Energy Institute saysAn Energy Institute report says US data centers consumed 312.6 TWh of electricity in 2025, accounting for nearly 40% of the global total. The report said that surge helped lift worldwide data center electricity demand by 19.7% year over year to 788 TWh. It also said global data center power consumption has doubled since 2020 and could double again before 2030. The report pointed to Microsoft’s restart of the Three Mile Island nuclear plant and Amazon’s investment in nuclear energy development as examples of how technology companies are seeking zero-carbon baseload electricity to meet AI computing demand.
