Three Mile Island, once site of the worst nuclear disaster, is being reopened to meet the energy demands of generative AI, a significant change in narrative.
Joseph Dominguez, CEO of Constellation, stated, 'This was the site of the industry's greatest failure, and now it can be a place of rebirth' as the plant reopens.
Microsoft is committing to purchase energy from the refurbished facility for 20 years, highlighting the growing synergy between nuclear energy and AI technology.
Generative AI's electricity needs are much higher than traditional algorithms, requiring five to ten times more power for tasks like AI-powered web searches.
