TerraPower is constructing its first reactor near a retiring coal facility in Kemmerer, Wyoming, in partnership with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program. Engineers and developers are no longer treating the Natrium reactor as just a concept—they are actively constructing it as the only advanced, non-light water reactor in the Western Hemisphere. And they designed it to address the challenges of the clean energy transition. Located near a former coal plant, the Natrium facility demonstrates nuclear energy’s role in reducing global carbon emissions. Additionally, TerraPower also expects... Continue Reading
