Mike Kramer: Navigating power deals in the new data economy
Mike Kramer has a background in finance, not engineering, but a combined 20 years at Exelon and Constellation and a key role in the deals that have Meta and Microsoft buying power from Constellation’s Clinton and Crane sites have made him something of a nuclear expert.
Kramer spoke with Nuclear News staff writer Susan Gallier in late August, just after a visit to Clinton in central Illinois to celebrate a power purchase agreement (PPA) with Meta that closed in June. As Constellation’s vice president for data economy strategy, Kramer was part of the deal-making—not just the celebration.

Measurements of neutron total cross sections of palladium in the energy region from 0.2 to 120 eV have been performed by using the time-of-flight method at the Pohang Neutron Facility. A group of high-purity natural palladium metallic plates with thicknesses of 0.5 and 1.0 mm is used for the neutron transmission measurement. Resonance parameters of 104Pd, 105Pd, 106Pd, 108Pd, and 110Pd in the neutron energy range below 120 eV were extracted from the transmission ratios by using the multilevel R-matrix SAMMY code. The present results are compared with the evaluated data from ENDF/B-VII.1 and previous experimental data. The statistical analysis for nearest-neighbor level spacings in 105Pd has been carried out to compare with the Wigner distribution.
