China testing truck-mounted nuclear reactor that could power AI data centre

China is testing a prototype nuclear reactor that can be transported by truck, as reported by a leading scientist. This reactor, developed over several years, is described as the world's first 10-megawatt mobile nuclear power unit, with the team now exploring deployment opportunities. This mobile unit can power a medium-sized AI data center, showcasing innovations in next-generation nuclear energy systems. Wu, a key scientist, emphasized that their proposed "nuclear power bank" exemplifies this new approach to energy.
