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.

Cumulative and independent yields of various fission products within mass ranges of 86 to 119 and 127 to 162 were measured in the spontaneous fission of 252Cf by using an off-line gamma-ray spectrometric technique. From the cumulative yields of the fission products, their mass chain yields were obtained by using the charge distribution correction. Mass yield distribution parameters such as full-width at tenth-maximum of light and heavy mass wings, average light mass <AL> and heavy mass <AH>, and total average neutron multiplicity <ν>expt were obtained. Fission yield data in the 252Cf(SF) reaction were compared with similar data in neutron-induced fission and spontaneous fission of other actinides to examine the role of excitation energy and nuclear structure effect. The role of standard I and standard II asymmetric modes of fission is also discussed.
