How can the global energy grid keep pace with fast-growing demand from new data centers supporting artificial intelligence (AI) and cloud computing? Nuclear energy and coastal waters offer a potential answer.The potential for floating nuclear-powered data centers is explored in depth in the latest research from ABS and Herbert Engineering. Pathways to a Low Carbon Future Floating Nuclear Power Data Center details design considerations for a floating data center that would use large river estuaries or coastal waters as a heat sink for both servers and small modular reactors (SMR) onboard a purpose-built barge.

FFC said Israel was to blame for the incident.
