The insatiable power demands of data centers mean nuclear energy is back in the fashion.

With grid providers around the world facing struggling to match demand with supply, the digital infrastructure industry is willing to pay extra to get the power it needs, and putting its hopes on what is, in many cases, unproven technology.

In issue #59 of DCD Magazine, out now, we talk to number of small modular reactor (SMR) developers and the data center companies backing them. From Radiant, to Oklo, to Rolls-Royce, to Stellaria, we profile the different technologies and timelines that could solve the power bottleneck. Plus, a look at the realistic challenges and doubts that mean we can't rely on nuclear just yet.
