FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin A recent report by the American Bureau of Shipping (ABS) and Herbert Engineering presents a new concept to meet the growing energy needs of AI data centers – floating, nuclear-powered facilities located in coastal waters and river estuaries. The report “Pathways to a Low Carbon Future: Floating Nuclear Power Data Center” details design considerations for a floating data center that would use large river estuaries or coastal waters as a heat sink for both servers and small modular reactors (SMR) onboard a purpose-built barge. These floating platforms would use surrounding water bodies to naturally cool both the servers and the reactors.
