TerraPower, backed by Bill Gates, is set to begin construction of the United States' first next-generation, sodium-cooled nuclear power plant in Wyoming this June. The company, aiming to lead in the next-gen nuclear plant sector, plans to have the reactor operational by 2030. This initiative marks a significant step in the advancement of nuclear energy, as TerraPower will apply for a construction permit from regulators this month for its innovative reactor. The project, which will be located at a closed Wyoming coal plant, represents a shift towards smaller, potentially more efficient nuclear technology compared to the typical 1,000MW American reactors.
