US to revive shuttered nuclear plants to power data centers, meet electricity demand

The United States is initiating an effort to restart three previously shuttered nuclear power plants. The project aims to address the nation's increasing electricity demand, which has been driven in part by the expansion of data centers.

This move represents an unprecedented attempt to reintegrate dormant nuclear infrastructure into the power grid. By reviving these facilities, the initiative seeks to bolster energy capacity to support the growing operational requirements of the technology sector and broader utility needs.
