Three Mile Island, the power plant near Middletown, Pa., that was the scene of the worst commercial nuclear accident in U.S. history, will reopen to power Microsoft's data centers, which are responsible for powering the tech giant's cloud computing and artificial intelligence programs.

Constellation Energy, which bills itself as America's largest producer of "clean, carbon-free energy," announced Friday that it had signed its largest-ever power purchase agreement with Microsoft.

“Powering industries critical to our nation’s global economic and technological competitiveness, including data centers, requires an abundance of energy that is carbon-free and reliable every hour of every day, and nuclear plants are the only energy sources that can consistently deliver on that promise,” said Joe Dominguez, Constellation Energy's president and CEO.

NPR (from the url) = National Public Radio, they had a station (KVCR - Valley College Radio) at the community college I attended before transferring to a state university.

I heard about that. Good, if it can be safely refit, the more power the better. The waste is bad of course, but as long as nothing happens with that, it's a good source.

I wish they could perfect fusion reactors. That would be way cleaner
