Sector: Power Generation (CCGT) • Location: Kemmerer, Wyoming, United States
Source: Washington Times
TerraPower has been issued the first-ever construction permit for an advanced, commercial-scale nuclear power plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming. The plant will use a sodium-cooled reactor and a molten-salt-based energy storage system that produces far less waste than conventional nuclear reactors. Construction is planned to begin soon, with operational status expected as early as 2030.
