Three Mile Island Gets an AI Makeover

• Three Mile Island, a nuclear plant with a past accident, is being considered for reopening by mid-2027 to power AI applications.
• The 'nuclear renaissance' is driven by an 'insatiable demand for electricity' from big tech companies for AI.
• While new reactor designs (SMRs) are in development, current re-openings rely on older infrastructure, and nuclear waste disposal remains an unresolved issue.

Three Mile Island, the site of a historic nuclear accident, is being considered for an AI-driven revival by mid-2027 to meet the surging electricity demand from big tech. This marks a 'nuclear renaissance' fueled by the insatiable power needs of artificial intelligence, despite ongoing challenges in waste management and the slow pace of new reactor development.
