Abstract: The demand for computational power in nuclear-powered data centers requires effective thermal management. Traditional cooling methods are inadequate for the heat generated in these environments. This article examines advanced cooling systems for nuclear-powered data centers, focusing on energy efficiency, safety, and performance. Analyzed technologies include liquid cooling, immersion cooling, free cooling, and hybrid systems. Findings show these systems reduce energy consumption by up to 50%, improve PUE by 20-35%, and enhance computational performance by 15-20%. They also reduce server failure rates and improve reliability. Initial investment is offset by long-term energy cost savings and reduced maintenance. This article highlights the importance of advanced cooling systems for sustainable and efficient operation of nuclear-powered data centers.
