The thing is - small modular reactors ARE safe. They're in use in other countries just fine. And most designs are inherently meltdown-proof. And many new designs are coming out that are "recycling" reactors - they don't produce radioactive waste, they reuse their used fuel.

To have a Carbon-free future, we will need to embrace nuclear as "base load" generation.

That said - the specific use case is horrendous. We really should NOT be pouring megawatts and megawatts of power at datacenters. "AI" needs to die. We don't need to be feeding full cities' worth of power at individual datacenter just to power automated art theft. It's like the big companies (Google, Amazon, Facebook, etc) have all decided "you know all those power reduction goals people/countries are heading toward? We're going to wipe them all out in just a couple dozen datacenters."

I don't know if everyone agrees they are safe..
Especially around the Cascadia subduction zone. And there is no repository for the waste--that problem has not been solved by any means.

People want electricity. People don't want climate change. What to do?
