Offshore nuclear barges could power ports and data centers—starting with California, where nuclear is banned

Fortune 1

Bluecore Energy is working with the Port of Long Beach to build floating-barrel small modular nuclear reactors, despite California’s 1976 ban on new nuclear reactors.Each 10-megawatt reactor on a barge is described as powering about 10,000 homes. The effort depends on new state and federal regulatory approvals and could shift port and AI data-center power planning toward near-coastal nuclear electricity once frameworks and supply chains are in place.

Nvidia’s AI advantage is moving beyond the GPU

TechCrunch 6 days ago 7 ● 3 sources

Nvidia is reframing its AI advantage as shifting from just GPU sales to efficiency gains in the surrounding rack-level systems that orchestrate data movement for megascale compute. It reported “upwards of 3x improvement” in these operations via its Vera CPU for traffic direction that prevents bottlenecks on flash and helps lower tokens-per-watt. As a result, competition is moving toward whole-system performance rather than GPU chips alone, with Nvidia aiming to benefit from the buildout of Vera Rubin-based infrastructures.
