- 김성환 기후에너지환경부 장관이 두산에너빌리티 제작 공장을 방문해 신규원전 주요기기 생산 현장을 점검하고, 차질없는 건설 추진에 대한 의지를 밝혔다.
- 이번 방문은 제11차 전력수급기본계획에 반영된 신규 원전을 차질 없이 추진하기 위한 현장 점검의 일환으로 마련됐다.
- 이날 현장 방문은 주 단조 공장과 원자력 공장 순으로 진행됐다.
China testing truck-mounted nuclear reactor that could power AI data centre
- China is testing a prototype nuclear reactor that can be carried on a truck.
- He described the reactor, which has been in development for several years, as the “world’s first 10-megawatt vehicle-mounted nuclear power unit.”
- It offers a solution to ‘battery anxiety’ in different applications, including providing power for remote regions and islands, delivering emergency backup power, propelling ships, and supporting AI computing and data centres
US research reactor first to produce electricity
- The University of Utah's TRIGA research reactor will be used to produce electricity to power a mini AI data centre as part of proof-of-concept for powering full-scale data centres with micro-reactors.
- During the experiment, the thermal energy generated by the reactor will be partially captured and converted into electricity using a compact Brayton Cycle power system.
- Once connected, the resulting electricity will be used to power a high-performance GPUnode executing a live AI workload.
