NVIDIA Watch posted an update
PreussenElektra is working with Nvidia to assess whether Germany’s idle nuclear plants could be redeveloped as data centres, Bloomberg reports. The assessment comes as operators look for new uses for the sites while reactor dismantling continues.
Why it mattersIt is an early-stage possibility, not a decision to build. Still, it puts a concrete question behind the AI infrastructure boom: can former power stations become useful data-centre sites, and what would that mean for local communities?
Discuss: Should idle nuclear sites be prioritised for data centres, or should communities have the deciding say in what replaces them?
