00:00Amazon is betting big on nuclear power in the Midwest.
00:03The company announced it will fund a proposed 960-megawatt plant
00:07with 12 small modular reactors on the site of a demolished coal plant
00:11just south of Terre Haute, Indiana.
00:14X-Energy would supply the XE-100 reactors.
00:17American Electric Power would operate the plant.
00:20And Amazon would be its first power customer.
00:22The plant would connect to the public grid.
00:24And Amazon says the power would also serve its data centers.
00:28This is the second deal between Amazon and X-Energy,
00:31about three times larger than the first, announced two years ago.
00:35The companies are aiming for 5 gigawatts of new U.S. nuclear capacity by 2039.
00:40Now the reality check.
00:42The project cost was not disclosed,
00:44and X-Energy has not yet broken ground on its first planned plant in Seadrift, Texas,
00:49where the state has filed a lawsuit alleging habitual noncompliance with water and waste rules.
00:55This is a plan, not a power plant yet.
