В России появятся сверхмалые ядерные реакторы для ЦОДов, заявили в МИФИ

Russia is set to develop and deploy ultra-small nuclear reactors specifically designed to power data centers. This initiative was announced by representatives from the National Research Nuclear University MEPhI (Moscow Engineering Physics Institute). The project aims to provide a stable and independent energy source for the growing digital infrastructure within the country. These compact reactors are intended to offer a reliable alternative to traditional power grids, addressing the significant energy demands of modern data processing facilities.

This development could offer a novel solution for powering energy-intensive data centers, potentially enhancing energy independence and reliability for critical digital infrastructure in Russia.
