U.S. Wants to Repurpose Historic Nuclear Power Plant
Bringing the site back to life after over 30 years could help build a domestic nuclear fuel supply for the growing AI energy demand.

The U.K. is prioritizing advanced nuclear technology to power the AI boom.
If everything goes to plan, construction on the nuclear fusion power plant will begin in 2028.
Instead of a nuclear power plant built on a site, it will be shipped to a shoreline in remote areas.
An all-in-one nuclear site would involve fuel fabrication, enrichment, reprocessing used nuclear fuel, and disposition of waste.
Making the magnets easy to take apart could allow the plant to have shorter shutdowns and lower costs over its lifetime, resulting in large-scale production.
Only Stellaria and one other company have developed this kind of reactor this far in the process.
Looking ahead, there is a new plan to clean up 56 million gallons of tank waste.
