Operationalizing SMRs for Onsite Power Resilience in Data Center Campuses

• Examining where SMRs realistically sit today versus near-term alternatives by comparing technical readiness, achievable capacity, lead times, and constructability against options like on-site gas turbines
• Integrating SMRs into live or planned campuses by addressing redundancy, resiliency, constructability, site constraints, and interfaces with existing facility infrastructure
• Navigating permitting pathways, environmental codes, vendor maturity, and supplychain lead times to understand who can deliver, how power is sustained long-term, and where risks remain
