#NuclearReactor Backed by #BillGates Gets Federal Approval
#TerraPowerβs project in #Wyoming, which uses novel technology, is the first new commercial reactor to receive federal approval in decade.
TerraPower design, which it calls #Natrium developed with GE Hitachi, has several novel features. Probably most notable of these is the use of liquid #sodium for cooling and heat transfer.
Plant wonβt be done until 2030 at the earliest, and it still needs an operating license.
