TerraPower begins construction on Natrium power plant in Kemmerer
Construction has officially begun on TerraPower’s first Natrium power plant, in Kemmerer, Wyo. The company expects this demonstration facility—featuring a 345-MWe sodium-cooled fast reactor with an integrated molten salt–based heat storage system, which can temporarily boost power output to 500 MWe—to become the first “utility-scale advanced nuclear power plant” in the United States.
SHINE deploys its fusion neutron sources to inspect industrial components in aerospace, defense, energy, medical isotope production, and other sectors. SHINE also provides irradiation services with its intense DT neutron source and supports fusion technology development programs. Longer term, SHINE aims to generate fusion power to transmute spent nuclear fuel and ultimately deliver clean, abundant energy that could transform life on Earth.
