Data centers, driven by AI applications, are projected to consume a quarter of American homes’ electricity by 2028, leading to an urgent need for nuclear energy solutions. Companies like Microsoft and Alphabet are partnering with nuclear firms to revive decommissioned plants, while BWX Technologies is developing Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) like the BANR, capable of generating 75 megawatts. BWX Technologies demonstrated strong financial stability in 2025 with $3.1 billion in revenue and a 10.31% net profit margin, positioning it as a competitive and robust player in the SMR sector.
