Microsoft’s plans to enter nuclear energy production were revealed after the company placed a job posting for a Nuclear Technology role. The posting called for a Principal Project Manager tasked with overseeing a global small modular reactor and micro-reactor strategy.
The news follows record investment in nuclear startups in recent years, with tech billionaires Bill gates, Jeff Bezos and Peter Thiel all putting their money behind nuclear power. But the move from Microsoft may also signify a realisation that dysfunctional western energy policy will not be able to provide the power-hungry AI chips and data centres with the energy they need - with big tech choosing to invest in new nuclear projects when their own governments will not.
