Yossi Sagol enters nuclear energy: Invests in ARCVIA

Yossi Sagol, a prominent businessman, has made an investment in ARCVIA, a company focused on developing small modular nuclear power plants in the United States. This marks Sagol's entry into the rapidly growing sector of nuclear energy, a shift from his previous work in renewable energy. ARCVIA was founded in 2025 by former senior executives Itamar Serussi and Yonatan Raskin, who had led major deals with tech giants.

The company identifies a surge in demand for continuous electricity, particularly for data centers, as a key driver of the growing interest in nuclear energy. ARCVIA is currently initiating SMR projects in demand hubs across the United States. The investment is supported by other notable figures, including Amir Lazar and Avi Khouri.

This move comes at a time when the US nuclear energy sector is experiencing a resurgence, with tech giants like Microsoft, Meta, and Amazon seeking out nuclear energy to meet their continuous power needs. The demand for electricity, driven by the rise of artificial intelligence and data centers, has outpaced the capacity of solar and energy storage systems.

Consequently, small modular nuclear plants, which can be built more quickly and closer to consumers, have emerged as a crucial complement to the clean energy revolution in the American market.
