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.
ANS has made every effort to secure the best possible nightly room rate for you at Huntsville Marriott at the Space & Rocket Center. That rate results from a negotiated overall package of event needs including but not limited to sleeping rooms, meeting room space and other requirements.
Please help ANS keep the costs of this event as low as possible by booking your housing needs at the host hotel and through the reservation process created by ANS. Reserving your rooms elsewhere means you are booking outside the contracted room block, jeopardizing ANS’ ability to meet its contracted obligations. Unfortunately, if this happens, event costs will continue to increase if ANS falls short of its minimum room block guarantee. ANS appreciates your support and understanding of this important issue. Thank you!
ANS does not sell or distribute attendees emails. Only open if from ans.org. If you get any questionable emails, please forward to your spam and notify registrar@ans.org.
NETS 2025 sessions and events will be in the Huntsville Marriott and also within walking distance at the Space and Rocket Center. The schedule notes which location it is in parenthesis after the room name. There will be signs directing you to the correct building at the Space and Rocket Center from the Huntsville Marriott Lobby. Remember to wear your wristband! At registration you will be given a wristband that grants you free entry to the Space and Rocket Center for the NETS 2025 sessions.
