Critical Dependencies
Small modular reactors and other advanced nuclear designs are moving from theoretical promise to commercial reality as hyperscalers seek clean, reliable, 24/7 baseload power for AI data centers, with Meta, Microsoft, Amazon and Google collectively committing over $50 billion to nuclear power projects as of early 2026. Amazon-backed X-energy closed an upsized $700 million Series C-1 round (bringing its 13-month total to roughly $1.4 billion) targeting more than 5 gigawatts of SMR deployment by 2039; TerraPower closed a $650 million fundraise backed by NVIDIA and signed an up-to-8-reactor Natrium deal with Meta providing up to 2.1 GW by 2035; and Aalo Atomics, developing a modular reactor purpose-built for AI data centers, achieved 'first criticality' on its Critical Test Reactor on July 4, 2026 after a $100 million Series B.
