TerraPower’s Natrium reactor is one such fast reactor, and it’s the world’s first fast reactor that not only targets commercial use, but also comes with its own grid-level storage in the ...

Natrium combines a molten sodium reactor with a 1 GWh molten salt energy storage system. Sodium offers a 785-Kelvin temperature range between its solid and gaseous states, nearly 8x that of water’s ...

The Natrium reactor delivers superior safety compared to other small modular reactors (SMRs) and is further technologically advanced. It generates 40% less nuclear waste than conventional reactors.

The Natrium plant uses liquid sodium, whose boiling point is more than 8 times higher than water’s, so it can absorb all the extra heat generated in the nuclear core.

The Natrium reactor is centered around a 345 MW sodium-cooled fast reactor, a innovative design within the realm of Generation IV nuclear technology. Its use of liquid sodium as a coolant is ...

Plans to construct a Natrium reactor demonstration project at a retiring coal plant in the US state of Wyoming were announced yesterday by TerraPower, PacifiCorp and Wyoming Governor Mark Gordon. The ...

The Natrium Fuel Facility’s unveiling comes one week after X-energy subsidiary TRISO-X broke ground on its commercial-scale advanced nuclear fuel facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

TerraPower is constructing the Natrium demonstration plant near a retiring coal facility at Kemmerer in Wyoming. A ground-breaking ceremony held in June this year marked the start of non-nuclear ...

Since Natrium’s unveiling in September 2020, its demonstration consortium has expanded to include nuclear plant engineering and construction giant Bechtel, which will act as the Natrium plant ...
