2. I'm also extremely interested in the "Small Modular Reactor" designs...

...in addition to Westinghouse, I've been reading about a company called Nano Nuclear Energy and another called NuScale Power who are both in the small nuke field.

This sounds like an excellent immediate solution to the database and AI sites that need sooo much energy, if Small Reactors could be dedicated to those facilities which would also allow for those facilities to be located away from populated areas.

Of course we will still have the question of what to do with the radioactive waste, but that is a much less immediate danger than the CO2 waste that is causing so much harm right now.
