from the powering-the-AI-future dept.
An anonymous reader quotes a report from the Financial Post: A Texas power developer is proposing to repurpose nuclear reactors from Navy warships to power the United States grid as the Trump administration pushes to secure massive amounts of energy for the artificial intelligence boom. HGP Intelligent Energy LLC filed an application to the Energy Department to redirect two retired reactors to a data center project proposed at Oak Ridge, Tennessee, according to a letter submitted to the agency's Office of Energy Dominance Financing. The project, filed for the White House's Genesis Mission, would produce about 450-520 megawatts of around-the-clock electricity, or enough to power roughly 360,000 homes. The proposal would rewire reactors from naval vessels, originally built by Westinghouse Electric Company and General Electric, at a fraction of the cost of new builds.
According to the report, The developer expects to seek a loan guarantee from the U.S. Department of Energy and raise roughly $1.8-$2.1 billion in private capital to prepare the reactors for civilian use, targeting initial completion by 2029. The approach is technically feasible but would break new ground by adapting military nuclear assets for the commercial grid. Bloomberg first reported the story.

I get it if a country without nukes is looking to enrich "for the plants", but in a country like the US which already has more nukes than it knows what to do with, having reactors needing highly enriched fuel doesn't do much. And for a country like Japan they are clearly holding at a point where they could have probably the world's best nuclear tipped ICBM in 6 months, without navy style reactors.

My own prediction is that if the AI Data Centers, require as much energy as powers the rest of the world, it isn't going to work. Resurrecting old nuclear plants, building Data Centers in space, have they considered waste heat? Pipe dreams.
If the energy requirements do not come down, The present vision of AI and its datacenters won't work.
I also have concerns about those resurrected decommissioned nuclear power plants run by companies that have as their priorities, next quarters profits.
Now, as for the naval reactors - they are run by very dedicated, smart and highly trained young people. I have a bit of trouble believing that the profit driven centers will be able to duplicate that level of competence.

The assertion about the fuel used in US naval reactors is correct: the navy uses highly enriched uranium for fuel (HUE).
The only other use of HUE in a commercial power reactor anywhere in the world at any time (that we know of: who knows what heinous things the Soviets really did,) was Fort St. Vrain in Colorado in the 80s. That was a weird reactor with an experimental design, and a short operating life.
Such naval reactors are extremely compact, extremely power dense and deliberately primitive, relative to typical commercial fission systems. The fuel lasts for roughly 2 decades in naval service. That is, however, a naval application which is not 100% 24/7/365. I suspect in commercial power operation the fuel will not last as long, but I'm not certain.
I think this is pure bullshit. I suspect this is a clever bunch of grifters pushing a story just plausible enough to possibly shake some money out of the DOE subsidy tree. The following problems are self-evident:
1. Naval reactors are a very different animal than commercial power reactors. The NRC regulatory regime is built around commercial designs and some miraculous regulatory upheaval would be required to accept naval designs into commercial operation.
2. Reactor fuel: there is no regulatory path for supplying HEU to commercial operators. Such a thing would have to be created, despite violent, and not easiliy overcome, opposition: it's bomb fuel. The physics allow for LEU in such reactors, but then all the "reuse" saving become costs to certify and (frequently) fuel such a thing.
3. This scheme has every appearance of what NRC Directory Dale Klein had in mind in 2007 when he coined the "No Bozos" concept: the NRC doesn't tolerate nuclear stuff done on "telsa time" by nuclear newbies.

They are typical _baseload_ plants, they do not adjust output. They keep it constant.
So they would be run the same and last the same in a commercial scenario.
However they are below 200MW thermal power output. Which makes them close to useless for grand scale commercial use.
A commercial nuclear reactor is in the 0.5GW range, and the modern constructions are around 1GW.

Good to know. I suppose when your surrounded by the biggest heatsink on the planet, dumping excess energy is solved pretty easily.
Which makes them close to useless for grand scale commercial use.
The take I had was that this would be used for data centers, as opposed to the public grid. 200MW is actually in the ballpark for these.

One link was completely unreasonable to access and the other won't without turning off the ad blocker, which I'm not willing to do.
Therefore: Without analyzing the articles provided:
US and UK Naval reactors do indeed use weapons grade U235 (Highly Enriched Uranium, or HEU vs. Low Enriched Uranium, or LEU)
There was a November 2016 analysis someone got, and while the summary and analysis of that report was mostly just black ink (redacted) it did point out that LEU wasn't efficient enough for use in subs give current parameters. Others say the math says it could be done, but would require a larger foot print due to the reduced capacity in not using HEU. I think the real driving factor here is "government loan guarantees" and using HEU reactors is simply a way to "make it make sense" to have the government hand out another three to six billion to corporations for free. (You know it'll get that high despite the lower estimates).
Personally, I'm not comfortable with weapons grade material in civilian installations, especially given the ping pong like migration of the OEMs from one set of MIC corporations to another, and the cost conscious attitude of private equity firms. At least the Navy has all the money it wants to maintain the things, PE won't provide it. We know that because it happens every damn time we turn around.

Naval reactors need to be compact, have high power density, and respond to rapidly changing power demands. To do that, you need to run at high neutron flux levels. If you rapidly reduce the power output of a commercial power-generating light water reactor, you get xenon build-up that absorbs neutrons, poisoning the reaction. You have to wait for the xenon to decay before you can ramp up power again, which can take days. This is obviously unacceptable when you're using the reactor for propulsion. You still get xenon build-up when you throttle back a naval reactor, but it burns through it with its high neutron flux, so you can increase power again quickly when necessary. But this necessitates using high enrichment fuel.

The first phase could be completed as soon as 2029, according to the proposal.
Look, I like a good government subsidy and nuclear power and have long advocated for that fusion in greater amounts but this is one where I can say no, this is not a good use of a loan of that amount, I doubt we'd get the money back on this and I would say we won't learn anything from doing this.
