德州电力开发商 HGP Intelligent Energy 申请向美国能源部（DOE）把两座退役海军核反应炉改作民用，供应田纳西州橡树岭（Oak Ridge）的资料中心计划；此案与白宫「Genesis Mission」相关，目标是为 AI 带动的用电成长提供稳定基载电力。

提案估算两座反应炉可提供约 450–520 兆瓦（MW）全天候电力，约可供应 36 万户家庭；相较新建大型或小型核电与大型燃气电厂仍需多年，改装既有军用反应炉在理论上可更快增加电网基载，但属于未曾大规模实作的「未知领域」。

成本方面，HGP 估算重新布线与整备的单位成本约为每 MW 100 万至 400 万美元，并称低于新建反应炉；为让反应炉能一般化使用，另需约 18–21 亿美元民间资本建置相关基础设施，并计划申请 DOE 贷款担保，提出政府分润与除役基金，首期最快可于 2029 年完成。

Texas-based HGP Intelligent Energy applied to the US Department of Energy to repurpose two retired Navy nuclear reactors for a civilian data-center project in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, aligned with the White House “Genesis Mission” aimed at powering the AI boom with more firm electricity.

The proposal estimates round-the-clock output of about 450–520 MW—enough for roughly 360,000 homes—positioning reuse as a potentially faster source of new baseload than building new nuclear plants (large or small) or major new gas plants, which are expected to take years. However, civilian deployment of military reactors is largely uncharted.

HGP says rewiring two ship reactors (types used on carriers/submarines) would cost about $1–$4 million per MW, described as a fraction of new-build nuclear. It also projects $1.8–$2.1 billion in private capital for supporting infrastructure, plans to seek a DOE loan guarantee, offers government revenue sharing plus a decommissioning fund, and targets an initial phase by 2029.
