Nuclear reactor developer X-energy has officially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) as it seeks to capitalize on the surging demand for carbon-free energy. The company, which is backed by tech giant Amazon, specializes in small modular reactors (SMRs) designed to power the next generation of infrastructure. This move comes as big tech companies increasingly look toward nuclear power to fuel the massive energy requirements of AI data centers. The filing underscores a growing trend of private nuclear firms entering public markets to fund capital-intensive projects. Investors view this development as a significant milestone for the nuclear energy sector's integration into the AI revolution. The IPO is expected to provide a new liquid instrument for those looking to gain exposure to the clean energy transition.
