US nuclear plant revived to help power AI

Quick Summary:

A unit at the Three Mile Island power plant, the site of the worst nuclear accident in American history, will restart operations to sell power to Microsoft for energy-hungry data centres tapping the boom in artificial intelligence.

The Unit 1 reactor was not involved in the partial nuclear meltdown in 1979 at the site in Pennsylvania.

More than a dozen nuclear reactors went dark over the past decade in the face of increasing competition from cheaper natural gas and renewable energy.
