Part 6/10:
Terra Power, the company behind Natrium, has been making considerable progress since submitting their construction permit application to the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) in March 2024. Following this, the NRC accepted the application in May, marking a significant, albeit cautious, step toward the realization of advanced nuclear technology in the United States.
Moreover, the Wyoming Industrial Siting Council has approved Terra Power's plans, facilitating the construction of non-nuclear facilities like energy storage tanks and turbines in preparation for full operational launch in 2030. These developments highlight Wyoming's shift towards advanced nuclear as a key player in maintaining its historical energy leadership.
