Google and Kairos announced the agreement on October 14, 2024. Kairos would develop, construct and operate reactor plants and sell energy and associated attributes under power purchase agreements, with an initial deployment targeted for 2030 and further deployments through 2035. The 500 MW figure and deployment schedule were development targets, not operating capacity or completed reactors. The initial announcement did not establish a specific host city; Kairos’s Alameda press-release dateline is not a reactor location. Both the primary announcement and Reuters report are dated October 14.
