Westinghouse, Brookfield, and Cameco have formed a strategic alliance with the U.S. government to invest at least
$80 billion in new nuclear reactors, focusing on meeting the growing energy demands of future data centers. The plan includes building reactors across the U.S. using Westinghouse AP1000 pressurized water reactors and AP300 small modular reactors , which are smaller, not yet commercially deployed, and represent the next generation of nuclear technology.
The partnership aims to accelerate the development of nuclear energy in line with executive orders signed by former President Trump in May, which seek to double or triple U.S. electricity production. The measures include expanding nuclear capacity, developing compact reactors, increasing fuel production, and boosting exports.
