Small Modular Reactors (SMR) may be the Data Center Energy Solution: Legal Issues Ahead with Nuclear Reactors Powering Data Centers

Join us for a conversation with the Womble Bond Dickinson (US) LLP Data Center Team members: Barlow Keener, Of Counsel - Data Center Team co-lead, Belton Zeigler, Partner – energy and utilities and David Beckstead, Of Counsel – energy and M&A transactions. Barlow, Belton, and David dive into the evolving world of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and need for nuclear power generators to help solve energy needs required by the new massive growth in data centers.  Hosting AI and cloud computing, data centers may consume, some studies show, as much as 9% of the U.S. energy output by 2030. SMRs may be the only solution to meet the power needs of data centers.
