Crusoe and Aalo Atomics plan first nuclear-powered AI data center
Cloud provider Crusoe and reactor startup Aalo Atomics announced a strategic partnership on July 30 to deploy what they call the first nuclear-powered AI data center. A 2027 proof-of-concept at Idaho National Laboratory will pair a 50 MWe Aalo Pod (five sodium-cooled Aalo-1 microreactors) with a Crusoe Spark modular data center running Crusoe Cloud, with both companies targeting commercial deployments by the end of 2029.
