亚马逊正在资助在汉福德的一个小型模块化反应堆项目,以无碳能源为人工智能和云的需求提供动力。 Amazon is funding a small modular reactor project at Hanford to power its AI and cloud needs with carbon-free energy.

亚马逊正在支持华盛顿州汉福德工地的一个名为Cascade的小型组合式反应堆项目, 使用X-能源Xe-100设计来产生高达960兆瓦的无碳电。 Amazon is backing a small modular reactor project called Cascade at the Hanford site in Washington state, using X-energy’s Xe-100 design to generate up to 960 megawatts of carbon-free power. 该设施由西北能源牵头,部分由亚马逊基金供资,最初将部署4个模块,生产320兆瓦,可扩大到8个模块。 The facility, led by Energy Northwest and funded in part by Amazon, will initially deploy four modules producing 320 megawatts, expandable to eight modules. 将支持亚马逊的人工智能及云计算需求, 包括XAI Corossus超级计算机。 Construction, expected to start by the end of the decade, will support Amazon’s AI and cloud computing needs, including its xAI Colossus supercomputer. 该项目旨在创造1 000个建筑和100个长期就业机会,并现场运输和组装模块式反应堆。 The project aims to create 1,000 construction and 100 permanent jobs, with modular reactors transported and assembled on-site. 它正在通过监管审查向前推进,并通过由200万美元DOE赠款资助的新的核模拟器对劳动力进行培训。 It’s advancing through regulatory reviews and includes workforce training through a new nuclear simulator funded by a $2 million DOE grant.
