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.

Through basic research on the separation of uranium isotopes by the isotopic equilibrium reaction of uranus and uranyl ions, we discovered that a novel redox chromatography in adsorption columns is most efficient for the enrichment of 235U. Further studies of kinetics and multicomplexes led to the formation of two very important equations that satisfactorily predict the degree of separation of uranium isotopes. Some results from extensive single-and multicolumn experiments and a model plant currently under design for recovery of 3% enriched uranium are also described.
