Source-reported capacity; not metered consumption. Review underlying documents and notes. Planned capacity may include future phases and is not added to operational capacity here. The source may use facility, grid-feed or IT capacity definitions; consult the linked documents.
Coordinate precision is a source label, not an independent parcel survey. A marker does not confirm utility territory or establish an effect on residential bills.
Reported lifecycle history
- Proposed
Deep Atomic, with Parker Tide, submitted a proposal to the US DOE Office of Nuclear Energy for a fully integrated, nuclear-powered AI data-centre campus at Idaho National Laboratory. As of February 2026 the proposal was still awaiting DOE approval.
Underlying source
Source notes
Proposal only. Deep Atomic submitted it to the DOE Office of Nuclear Energy in late November 2025 and it awaited DOE approval as of February 2026. The consortium includes Parker Tide, Clayco, Future-tech, Paragon Energy Solutions and Moonlite. Data-centre operations would start within 24-36 months on existing INL grid power plus solar and geothermal, while the MK60 SMR goes through design certification and commissioning; MK60 series manufacturing is targeted for the end of 2029. No data-centre IT capacity is stated. The 60 MW figure is the reactor's electrical output, so no capacity is recorded. Sources describe Deep Atomic differently: NucNet calls it Switzerland-based and NEI calls it Swiss-American. Coordinates are Wikipedia's centroid for the whole INL reservation, the same convention as the Aalo Atomics INL record. No specific parcel has been disclosed, so precision is approximate and county is omitted. This is a different operator and project from the tracked Aalo Atomics and Oklo INL records.
Phased plan: start on existing INL grid power plus solar and geothermal, then add an on-site Deep Atomic MK60 light-water SMR rated 60 MWe plus 60 MW of integrated cooling. Waste heat would support direct liquid cooling for the AI servers. The reactor is not yet certified.
