Meta has struck partnerships with Bill Gates’ TerraPower and Sam Altman‑backed Oklo to develop roughly 4 gigawatts of small modular reactor (SMR) projects to power AI data centers and Meta’s planned Prometheus campus, sources told Fortune. Energy Secretary Chris Wright called the agreements a key development for a potential 'American nuclear renaissance.' The deals mark an inflection point for industry‑university energy research and infrastructure planning: campuses and research parks exploring high‑density computing will weigh on‑site clean power and regulatory pathways. Engineering and energy programs should prepare for new funding and collaboration opportunities tied to SMR demonstration projects and workforce development.
