I wrote a bit of fiction recently which portrayed a future where a starship needed to run its own Bitcoin mining cluster (because "reasons") and the ship also happened to use a nuclear power plant. and for "reasons" the mining host hardware was also placed as close to the nuclear reactor as they could get away with (well the electricity generation portions anyway.) all needed for (arbitrary, fanciful) plot reasons, but one of ideas I used to justify it was because the power generation qualities fit the power needs of the crypto miners pretty well. stable load, low cost per watt, theres no wind or geothermal or tide in space, and solar is sometimes too weak and other times entirely blocked (picture situation when ship in planetary orbit, on far side from the star, so light is eclipsed.)
