THE DATA CENTER LANDSCAPE

Nuclear-Powered Data Centers Get a Boost from US-UK Tech Collaboration

A landmark set of US-UK agreements signed during US President Donald Trump’s 2025 state visit is poised to accelerate deployment of advanced nuclear technologies—and with it, nuclear-powered infrastructure like data centers. As part of the broader Technology Prosperity Deal, the United States and United Kingdom committed to developing secure AI infrastructure, including high-performance computing and data centers that will be increasingly powered by clean, reliable nuclear energy. This collaboration highlights how advanced reactors can play a central role in supporting the energy-intensive AI and digital economy.

With fast-tracked licensing and cooperation between the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) and UK Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR), the stage is set for rapid deployment of new nuclear solutions for powering distributed infrastructure.
