Deep Atomic and Future-tech Launch A Programme for Nuclear-Powered Data Center Planning
Deep Atomic (ENS Corporate Member) and Future-tech, a leading data center design consultancy, announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of nuclear-powered data center projects through a joint “Stage 0” feasibility and planning programme.
The strategic partnership aims to accelerate multi-site SMR-powered data center development, meeting surging AI/HPC energy demand.
The new Stage 0 programme is a phased planning roadmap that integrates Deep Atomic’s nuclear feasibility expertise with Future-tech’s proven advisory process. Key phases include:
- Stage 0.1 – Initial Assessment & Site Screening
- Stage 0.2 – Technical Due Diligence
- Stage 0.3 – Site Maturity & ESG/Economic Analysis
- Stage 0.4 – Masterplan & Investment Readiness
This coordinated Stage 0 process aims to accelerate project timelines, optimize site selection, and reduce regulatory risk for companies pursuing large-scale deployments. By identifying optimal sites and technical pathways early on, the partners expect to shorten licensing lead times and avoid costly redesigns.

Deep Atomic recently entered the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Pre-Application Process for Design Certification of its MK60 Small Modular Reactor (SMR).
The MK60 SMR uses pressurized light water reactor technology, and is designed to produce 60 MW of electricity and 60 MW of cooling.
The company aims to deploy the first MK60 units by the end of this decade, addressing the surge in energy demand from cloud providers, artificial intelligence (AI) clusters, and other high-performance computing applications with a sustainable, on-site power and cooling solution.
