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.

The Next European Torus machine is designed to be fully remotely maintainable. The assembly of the basic machine and the maintenance of in-vessel components are described. Various issues still under consideration are also discussed, including the development of methods to contain radioactive particles and to prevent the spread of contamination from within the plasma chamber.
