Wyoming's Natrium Reactor: A Regulatory Milestone for Advanced Nuclear Energy

The US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has completed its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for TerraPower's Natrium project, recommending a construction permit for Kemmerer Unit 1 in Wyoming. This first-of-its-kind advanced sodium-cooled reactor, paired with a molten salt energy storage system, promises a variable energy supply of up to 500 MWe. Learn how this innovative design ensures steady base output and rapid ramp-up during peak demand, setting it apart from other advanced reactors. The EIS evaluates environmental, economic, and technical benefits, paving the way for America's next nuclear power plant. With construction already underway, discover how this project aligns with the retirement of coal-fired facilities and the future of clean energy.
