Electricity demand is exploding thanks to AI and data centers, and Kairos Power is stepping in with next-gen nuclear tech. Based in Alameda, they’re building smaller, safer, carbon-free reactors using molten salt coolant and TRISO fuel pebbles—no water, no high-pressure risks, and meltdown-proof design. After nearly a decade of testing and refinement, they’ve broken ground on Hermes 2, North America’s first commercial advanced nuclear reactor, with a U.S. NRC permit already in hand. Set to power Google’s Tennessee and Alabama data centers via the TVA grid, this project could soon scale to power communities nationwide.
