Rolls-Royce has been in early-stage talks with potential customers for micronuclear reactors, designed for energy solutions in data centers, mining, and remote applications.
Jake Thompson mentioned that their reactor is "really small, small enough so you could load it onto a rocket and send it into space," showcasing the innovative design.
The growing interest in nuclear power from major tech companies like Google and Amazon reflects the increasing demand for solutions to power high-energy needs and remote locations.
The National Space Innovation Programme awarded Rolls-Royce £4.8 million to support the development of technology necessary for nuclear microreactors, illustrating governmental backing.
