  "account": "Hyundai Engineering is expanding its reach into the global small modular reactor (SMR) market, signing agreements with two U.S. nuclear technology firms to collaborate on next-generation reactor demonstration projects. The Korean company announced memorandums of understanding with Nano Nuclear Energy (NNE) and ARC Clean Technology on Tuesday, as the demand for dependable, low-carbon electricity rises in tandem with the growth of artificial intelligence and data centers. Through its partnership with NNE, Hyundai Engineering intends to contribute to the KRONOS micro modular reactor project at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus, which seeks to supply heat for the institution and advance carbon neutrality objectives. Both companies will investigate collaboration on engineering, procurement, construction for auxiliary reactor facilities, modular design assessments, supply chain development, and business planning. NNE, based in New York and listed on Nasdaq, is currently developing a high-temperature gas-cooled microreactor.",
