Nearly 10,000 acres of Utah public land could host 456 nuclear reactors — enough power for 7-8 million homes, but none of them will get any of that power

Image
Project Beehive plans 456 reactors across more than 9,000 acres The proposed 9.6GW is 2.4 times what Utah generates on average today Power enough for 7 million homes will go to data centers instead Valar Atomics has filed a proposal to place 456 nuclear reactors on over 9,000 acres of federal land around Price, Utah, supplying computing facilities with 9.6GW — a project called Project Beehive. Each unit would generate 25MW, so the modular layout allows the company to build the site in stages as computing demand grows. Valar also wants roughly 650 additional acres controlled by Utah, which would push the total footprint of the campus above 9,650 acres. Power output and design Valar earlier considered a 10,200-acre parcel close to Green River, then dropped that location and filed the current request for land near Price. The proposed 456 reactors would reportedly produce roughly 9.6GW, which is more...

Apple Watch Series 12 vs Garmin Cirqa for one week — sleep scores compared

Image
I've been wearing the Apple Watch Series 12 to bed every night for a week now, which means, after seven nights of calibration, I finally got the benefits of the revamped Vitals app and the new Readiness Score. The Watch has to learn your baseline metrics so it can see outliers, which is why it takes a week for the Vitals app to gauge whether your heart rate variability, respiratory rate, blood oxygen and more fall within your 'typical' range. Readiness is the last metric, as it aggregates your sleep quality based on these parameters, compares it with your activity levels and gives you a score from 1 to 10 on how energetic and prepared-for-the-day you might be feeling. This is the first time Apple devices have had a Readiness metric, compared to the long-serving nature of the features on the best Garmin watches , Samsung and Google wearables, and many others, so naturally, I wanted t...

Jackery used a well-known EV trick to slash dimensions of its new portable power stations — CTB shrinks Explorer 2000 Plus v2 PPS by 60%, makes it 33% lighter

Image
Jackery cuts power station's size without reducing the stated battery capacities The Explorer 2000 Plus v2 loses 33% weight while retaining 2,048Wh capacity CTB 2.0 lets Jackery integrate battery cells directly into the enclosure structure Jackery has applied an automotive battery packaging technique to two new portable power stations, reducing its physical footprint without cutting the stated capacities. The Explorer 1000 Plus v2 and Explorer 2000 Plus v2 use a Cell-to-Body architecture that integrates battery components into their structural enclosures. The company said this approach cuts the Explorer 2000 Plus v2's size by 60% and its weight by 33%, and reduces the Explorer 1000 Plus v2’s size by 44% while its weight plunges by 26%, compared with their predecessors. CTB architecture cuts size while retaining large battery capacities Explorer 2000 Plus v2 stores 2,048Wh, weighs 18.8kg a...

Cops have breached one of iOS’s most secure features, report claims

Image
Police may be able to bypass one of iOS’s strongest security features The revelation is from a leaked video from the GrayKey device’s creator It has worrying ramifications for your data privacy A company that works with law enforcement says it has bypassed a key iOS security feature that protects your sensitive information from being extracted from your iPhone without your permission. But it could be a step backward for user privacy and the security of your personal data. According to a report from 404 Media , Magnet Forensics — the company behind the GrayKey device police use to crack open iPhones — has developed a new workaround that lets anyone with a GrayKey sidestep Apple’s Inactivity Reboot feature , plus a whole lot more. And it’s been using this exploit since at least early 2025, when a video seen by 404 Media was dated. Inactivity Reboot is an iOS feature that automatically restarts you...

EVgo says its ultra-fast EV charging stations will launch in the US in 2027

Image
EVGo says dynamic power sharing delivers the right charge to all EVs Up to 750kW could charge EVs in less than 10 minutes But China is still racing ahead with megawatt charging capabilities One of the largest and most “highly utilized” public fast charging providers in the US has revealed details of its next generation equipment that can deliver up to 750kW charging speeds, which will be enough to top up some of the fastest charging EVs on sale in around ten minutes. While there aren’t any models on the market that can charge at the full 750kW rate, more manufacturers are starting to push the limits of what's possible, with the likes of Mercedes-Benz , BMW and Rivian all readying vehicles that can manage anywhere between 400kW to 600kW in the case of the upcoming Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe. Once tethered, the high performance outlets could see the fastest-charging electric vehicles current...

Meta told the IRS its AI data centers are experimental to shave $6 billion off its tax bill

Meta has used the experimental designation for AI data centers to save billions in tax credits The designation is not allowed to be used for standard business operations Meta has labelled its AI data centers as 'pilot models' allowing the company to avoid some taxes on the AI chips that outfit its facilities Meta has been caught in some hot water with the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS) over the classification of some of its AI data centers as ‘experimental’ facilities. This designation allows companies to claim back some tax credits on the equipment it purchases for an experiment, as it could fail and leave the company out of pocket. These tax credits are an incentive for companies to innovate and there are strict rules around claiming them for standard business operations. According to the New York Times , Meta’s designation of some of its campuses as experimental - with the potential...
