Congratulations to TerraPower, Bill Gates, Governor Mark Gordon and others who made this milestone possible. The HALEU-fueled Natrium reactor is a game-changing advanced reactor design. Not only will it provide reliable, affordable, carbon free electricity, but it also incorporates innovative molten salt energy storage technology. This enables the reactor to run at full power 24-7 with minimal downtime, while storing some of the energy produced and releasing it when demand is highest or when intermittent renewable generation falls off. It is a perfect example of how nuclear, wind and solar can be complementary technologies working together to build a sustainable, 21st century power grid.
TerraPower has officially broken ground on the Natrium™ reactor demonstration project! Thank you to the TerraPower leaders, government officials, Natrium project partners, industry champions and local supporters who have all worked together to make this day possible. A special thank you to Governor Mark Gordon and our founder and chairman Bill Gates. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gSvdVEhr
