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 positive sentiments around nuclear energy have never been stronger, and developers are pursuing unprecedented development milestones, projects, and customer collaborations. However, the policy, investment, and demand environment has created significant turbulence and changing forces, some for the good and some for the less-than-good.
As the each year becomes more pivotal for the future for broad nuclear deployment, understanding how these forces impact the broader nuclear world becomes more and more necessary. Join us as experts take a look at where the nuclear world stands today, how the forces of the past got us here, and where the winds of tomorrow may take us further.
