TerraPower CEO Chris Levesque said that hyperscalers are driving demand for nuclear power companies, as his company is set to announce a deal with a data center customer for a new nuclear power plant this year. Levesque, who was joined by Bloomberg News energy reporter Will Wade, also said that TerraPower is aiming to get construction time and consumer costs lower so that nuclear can become a larger energy source for the US.
