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.

Ionizing irradiation of N2-O2-SO2 mixtures at pressures between 10 and 30 atm produced a white solid product of approximate formula (NO2)2S2O10. When the SO2 was quantitatively consumed in the presence of an excess of N2 and O2, only NO2 and N2O were found in the gas phase as products. The G-value for nitrogen fixation (in the condensed and gas phases) was not large and seldom exceeded unity.
