TerraPower begins U.K. regulatory approval process
Seattle-based TerraPower signaled its interest this week in building its Natrium small modular reactor in the United Kingdom, the company announced.
TerraPower sent a letter to the U.K.’s Department for Energy Security and Net Zero, formally establishing its intention to enter the U.K. generic design assessment (GDA) process. This is TerraPower’s first step in deployment of its Natrium technology—a 345-MW sodium fast reactor coupled with a molten salt energy storage unit—on the international stage.
Join us for the first inaugural U.S. Nuclear Industry Council’s (USNIC) Space Nuclear Industry Symposium (SNIS)!
The event brings together industry, government and other business leaders to discuss ongoing activities and plans that are specifically aimed to design, demonstrate and deploy nuclear power and propulsion technologies to support a rapidly growing and exciting space economy.
This first inaugural USNIC SNIS is held in conjunction with the 2024 NETS conference and planned in close coordination with the NETS organizers. It provides attendees a unique first-of-a-kind opportunity to hear from, and exchange opinions with, industry leaders and other experts in space nuclear power and propulsion on the future and potential contributions of these technologies to the space economy as a whole.
