Scope, evidence and limits
Description: Developer of fluoride-salt-cooled reactors (Hermes, Hermes 2) in Tennessee.
The records are grouped automatically. No human inspection of the selected claims, source paths or framing is recorded for this dossier. Each source passage shows how it was checked.
The dossier is computed from existing records. It is not a continuous history of the institution, and a missing record does not mean that an event or relationship did not happen. The chronology uses the dates of events and reports, not the date the public could first have known of them. Later sources can describe earlier events.

- Google announced on 14 October 2024 an agreement to purchase nuclear energy from multiple small modular reactors to be developed by Kairos Power, intended to bring the first reactor online by 2030 with further deployments through 2035, enabling up to 500 MW of power to US grids.Google → has a power agreement with → Kairos PowerInspect claim & evidence ↗
Record about this institution · Stated in source · Supported
Stage: announced · up to 500 MW (as worded: 'up to 500 MW of new 24/7 carbon-free power')
Qualification and date notes
An announced agreement for future reactors; no reactor named in it operated at the check date as far as these sources show. 500 MW is an upper bound for power to grids, not a contracted delivery to Google. Google links the grid's need for new sources to AI; the release does not name a data-centre site.
Date of the announcement, as the source gives it.
