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.

After presenting the strategy and objectives of the European Fusion Programme, an overview is given of the tritium related R&D activities presently undertaken in Europe and how they primarily support the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor. The results mainly concern tritium operations at the Joint European Torus and R&D activities conducted at the two principal European laboratories, Tritium Laboratory Karlsruhe and the European Tritium Handling Experimental Laboratory, and their support facilities.
