According to the firm, it will begin operating the first reactor this decade and bring additional online by 2035 thanks to the arrangement with Kairos Power.
The firms did not provide information regarding the location of the plants or the value of the deal.
Technology companies are increasingly using nuclear energy to power the massive data centers that power artificial intelligence.
“In order to support AI technologies, the grid needs new electricity sources,” stated Google senior director for energy and environment Michael Terrell.
This agreement unlocks the full potential of AI for everyone and speeds up the development of a new technology to address energy needs in a clean and reliable manner.
According to Kairos executive Jeff Olson, the agreement with Google “is important to accelerate the commercialization of advanced nuclear energy by demonstrating the technical and market viability of a solution critical to decarbonizing power grids.”
Before the proposals can move forward, they must still be approved by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission and local authorities.
US authorities last year granted California-based Kairos Power the first nuclear reactor construction permit in half a century.
The business began building a demonstration reactor in Tennessee in July.
