China is testing a prototype nuclear reactor mounted on a truck. This 'nuclear power bank' unit is reported to be the world's first 10-megawatt vehicle-mounted nuclear power unit, capable of powering a medium-sized AI data center.

China is testing a prototype nuclear reactor that can be carried on a truck, according to a leading scientist. He described the reactor, which has been in development for several years, as the “world’s first 10-megawatt vehicle-mounted nuclear power unit” and said the team behind it was now seeking opportunities to put it to use. This output would be enough to power a medium-sized AI data centre. “The ‘nuclear power bank’ we proposed exemplifies the new generation of nuclear energy systems,” Wu....
