As AI uses more electricity, new data centres could have their own nuclear power stations.
A man with a shiny metal Concorde model on his desk, and old circuit boards on a shelf, is clearly in love with technology.
"A normal data centre needs 32 megawatts of power flowing into the building. For an AI data centre it's 80 megawatts," says Mr Sharp. While there are currently no SMRs in commercial operation around the world, China is building the world's first, and similar technology is already used by nuclear-powered submarines.
"There's no reason why a small fast reactor can't power a data centre, except that you have to get it past the regulator."by the Office of Nuclear Energy. Meanwhile, in the UK the Office for Nuclear Regulation is continuing to study SMR designs fromAnd US energy firm Westinghouse wants to build four SMRs in north east England, in Tees Valley, close to the existing Hartlepool nuclear power station.
Dr Parr argues that data centre operators will get cold feet when revised costings emerge to render SMRs uncompetitive compared with renewable energy sources.
