Why Microreactors Are Back — and Why NANO Nuclear Is First in Focus Artificial intelligence is no longer constrained by algorithms or silicon alone. It is increasingly constrained by power—and more specifically, by the kind of power that can operate continuously, predictably, and at scale. As AI systems grow in complexity and ambition, they are placing unprecedented demands on physical infrastructure. Training and operating frontier models requires electricity that behaves le

Executive Summary POWER’s inaugural Data Center POWER eXchange (DPX)  Summit convened utilities, hyperscalers, regulators, financiers, and developers to address the accelerating collision between data center demand growth and grid capacity. AI-driven load expansion is materially outpacing grid planning, permitting, and build-out timelines—raising reliability, cost, and political risks. Former federal energy regulators and utility CEOs highlighted a dual challenge: maintaining

When a power system fails during a natural disaster, there is no luxury of long planning cycles, regulatory indecision, or theoretical optimization. Hospitals need electricity. Communications must come back online. Water systems, logistics hubs, and emergency command centers cannot wait for utility upgrades or multiyear grid studies. In those moments, power is deployed the only way that matters: fast, reliable, and sufficient to meet real demand. What is becoming increasingly
