Bill Gates' TerraPower Begins Construction on Wyoming Nuclear Plant Without Secured Fuel Supply

The advanced Natrium reactor aims to revolutionize energy production by 2030, despite challenges in sourcing high-assay low-enriched uranium.

Construction has started on the non-nuclear components of the TerraPower plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming.
The Natrium reactor, developed with GE Hitachi Nuclear Energy, will feature a 345 megawatt capacity and an energy storage system.
The plant's completion has been delayed from 2028 to 2030 due to difficulties in securing uranium from Russia.
The U.S. Department of Energy's Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program is funding half of the $4 billion project cost.
TerraPower is exploring domestic uranium production options to meet fuel requirements.
