Small Modular Nuclear Backlogs Expand as Applied Digital Activates 150MW Critical Load
Question
Small Modular Nuclear Backlogs Expand as Applied Digital Activates 150MW Critical Load
Direct answer
Power infrastructure for compute is driving commercial pipeline expansion across advanced nuclear and data center developers. Oklo reported an 18.1 GW pipeline while NuScale holds 6-7 GW in utility-focused projects. Applied Digital completed 150 MW of critical IT load at its North Dakota facility to reach 250 MW operational status, reinforcing physical power availability as the central constraint on digital infrastructure scale. — bullish pressure on CCJ.
