    Nuclear power and uranium emerge as critical AI infrastructure plays

    Question

    Nuclear power and uranium emerge as critical AI infrastructure plays

    Direct answer

    The massive increase in AI infrastructure spending by Google, Amazon, and Meta is creating a secondary boom in power generation. Constellation Energy is securing long-term corporate agreements to provide nuclear power directly to data centers, while Cameco benefits from the resulting demand for uranium fuel. This shift represents a broadening of the AI trade from pure-play semiconductors into the industrial and energy sectors required to sustain 24/7 compute operations.
