Russia's state nuclear giant is in preliminary talks with the US on reactor-powered data centers, but sanctions stand in the way Russia’s state nuclear corporation wants to help keep America’s AI servers running. Rosatom is in preliminary discussions with the United States about joint projects that would power data centers with small modular reactors and microreactors. The disclosure came from Kirill Dmitriev, head of the Russian Direct Investment Fund, on October 16, 2026. Two countries still divided by sanctions are now talking about sharing reactor plans, which counts as an interesting development in a relationship best described as complicated.
