I wonder if it can cool the systems using salt water? Highly corrosive but only costs the power to pump it. Let me ask:

I was suprised at this part of the answer: "Microsoft's experimental Project Natick submerged an entire data center pod in the ocean, using a direct seawater cooling approach to demonstrate the potential for underwater facilities."

I actually heard about that before. Hey - that would be the perfect companion for this, as proposed to power New City and the Pinelands supersonic jetport. Maybe it's finally time to build it after all these years? The AI folks are very big on nuclear power.

That would be a total disaster if it had a meltdown

I was just reading through that "New City" proposal again (see link in my post above). Reminds me of the science fiction classic "Things to Come" from the 1930's and not 1970's. Anyway, not to worry, the actual proposal doesn't really say the power plant would be offshore, just "East of the new city". And best of all - no smokestacks!

Maybe this all deserves another look? New City would be a perfect location for massive AI data centers, with convenient monorail access to the supersonic jet port for all the international data scientists who would regularly visit. And anyway, who needs all those pine trees? I'm sure the federal government could help out by rescinding the federal pinelands protections.

He had to be writing about Oyster Creek. Have to look at the time line, it was maybe the longest running nuclear plant in the country.

I think it was. Wikipedia says Oyster Creek went online in 1969 and apparently the planning for New City was sometime in the early 1960's(?)

I drove by there a couple days ago. I'm sure there will be something else there that will revive it as a power center. At one point they were thinking of taking the wind farm power to there to distribute it. But LBI rich people smashed that idea.
