Three Mile Island to Reopen as Power Supplier for Microsoft AI
--------------------------------------------------------------

The site of the worst nuclear disaster in U.S. history, the Three Mile
Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania, may reopen to help Microsoft
fuel its artificial intelligence ambitions. The nuclear plant has been
closed since 2019. The plant's owner, Constellation Energy, is seeking
to reopen it by 2028 after Microsoft agreed to buy energy needed for its
growing fleet of data centers powering its AI operations.
