A busy week in Utah for nuclear development
Almost every day this week has featured headlines concerning announcements, signings, and progress across Utah’s nuclear sector.
At a glance: TerraPower, Flagship, and the state signed a memorandum of understanding to cooperate on siting a Natrium reactor; $5 million may come to Camp Williams for General Matter–related site preparation work; and Nusano cut the ribbon on a radioisotope production facility.
