TerraPower announces two-year delay for startup of Natrium reactor

On Tuesday, Dec. 13, TerraPower announced that the company is anticipating a minimum of a two-year delay to being able to bring the natrium reactor into operation.

In a statement released from Chris Levesque, President and CEO, he said, “TerraPower remains fully committed to bringing the Natrium demonstration plant to Kemmerer, Wyoming. While there is much we can’t control as it relates to fuel availability, what we can control is construction of the plant, licensing applications and engineering and design work; and Terra Power is moving full steam ahead on those fronts.”
