Valar Atomics, a California-based nuclear startup, generated power from an advanced reactor to run an Nvidia AI chip. While just a trickle of electricity was produced, it’s the first time a next-gen reactor has done so in the US. On the heels of a demonstration of Valar’s Ward 250 reactor connecting to the Nvidia Blackwell chip at the company’s site in Utah, Valar Atomics CEO Isaiah Taylor joins Ed Ludlow on “Bloomberg Tech.”

Pretty cool. Wish common sense had gotten us to transition earlier, but what capital needs seems to move society in actuality. Whatever works!

Heat can be shoved around, but eventually it has to be dissipated to the environment. Air has the worst thermal capacity and heat transfer. Water is cheap and efficient, but just needs to be clean fresh water, so it converts to water vapor in cooling towers, without residual bacterial growth or mineral deposits. But making a claim of waterfree datacenter is a scam.
