Partners Jane Accomando and Arjun Ramadevanahalli, along with associate Patrick Pennella, authored an article exploring the growing intersection between nuclear energy and data center development. As demand for low-carbon, highly reliable power increases—especially from AI-driven data centers—developers are looking to nuclear generation, including small modular reactors and repowered facilities, as a viable solution.
The article examines key regulatory, licensing, and policy considerations, including recent FERC actions and executive orders, that come into play for stakeholders co-locating nuclear power with large energy loads.
