    I don’t understand how a nuclear reactor could cool a datacenter. Could you explain?

      Could supply power for better A/C?

      I admit that doesn’t make sense, but then neither does it make sense to cool a data center with evaporative water cooling as if it were a hit-and-miss engine from the 1910’s, so I dunno.

        Cooling with evaporative cooling does make some sense since it works. It’s absolutely not ideal though.

        It should totally be a closed water (or other fluid) loop and where possible build datacenters in cooler climates.

          Latency limits datacenter placement a lot, but for batch jobs like AI training it’s certainly an option.
