AI Data Centers

As the North American energy landscape shifts toward rapid growth driven by AI expansion and electrification, the ARC-100 provides the carbon-free, baseload capacity necessary to fill the resulting demand gap. The ARC-100 is purpose-built to serve as the cornerstone of 21st-century digital infrastructure, offering high-reliability power for mission-critical, high-density computing workloads. By providing a steady, high-quality power supply, the ARC-100 ensures the stable environments required for sensitive GPU and chip technology to operate at peak performance.

“Data centers for artificial intelligence require permanent and clean electricity sources 24/7. When we look at the options, nuclear comes as one of the key options... Nuclear is experiencing a resurgence because of its core attributes—reliability, longevity, and energy density.”

- Dr. Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA)

WHY ARC-100

The ARC-100 is designed for scalability and reliability, featuring a 100 MWe modular size that serves as a versatile building block for digital infrastructure. Units can be grouped into configurations, such as a 200 MWe "twin-pack," to provide essential redundancy and scale incrementally alongside evolving AI demand. This design is rooted in the proven Gen IV technology of the 30-year EBR-II program, capitalizing on over 450 years of combined global experience with sodium-cooled fast reactors. With an anticipated capacity factor exceeding 95%, the ARC-100 delivers consistent 24/7 power that is cost-competitive with fossil fuels and protected from the volatility of short-term fuel prices.

MEETING AI INFRASTRUCTURE NEEDS

To meet the rigorous demands of modern data centers, the ARC-100 focuses on maximizing uptime through a 20-year refueling cycle, which significantly reduces operational complexity and eliminates the frequent outages associated with traditional refueling schedules. The reactor offers exceptional operational flexibility with inherent passive load-following capabilities, allowing it to adjust power output to match demand or complement intermittent renewable sources on the grid. Furthermore, its compact 13-acre footprint and flexible cooling configurations, including air-cooling options, allow for sustainable siting even in water-constrained regions. As a 100% carbon-free energy source, the ARC-100 directly supports the Net Zero and 24/7 carbon-free energy goals of global technology leaders.
