TerraPower Raises $650 Million Led by NVIDIA, Bill Gates for Small Modular Reactors, Wyoming Project, and HALEU Production to Power AI Data Centers

TerraPower, a nuclear energy startup founded by Bill Gates, has secured $650 million in a funding round that includes investment from NVIDIA's venture capital arm, NVentures, as well as other existing and new investors. The capital will support the development of TerraPower's advanced small modular nuclear reactors, including a project currently under construction in Wyoming. This investment aligns with the growing interest in nuclear innovation as a stable energy source to meet the increasing power demands of data centers and artificial intelligence industries. TerraPower has also recently signed an agreement to produce high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) in the United States. The funding round highlights the collaboration between technology and energy sectors, with NVIDIA's involvement marking a strategic move into nuclear energy to support its AI infrastructure needs. Additionally, other nuclear ventures backed by figures such as Sam Altman have collectively raised over $1 billion, underscoring heightened investor confidence in advanced nuclear technologies.
