Western Governors Tour Natrium Sodium-Cooled Reactor Project Under Construction in Wyoming
The chair of the Western Governors' Association, Wyoming's governor, led a delegation of western governors and U.S. senators on a tour of the Natrium nuclear plant under construction in Kemmerer, Wyoming. Built by TerraPower with Rocky Mountain Power, the 345-megawatt sodium-cooled fast reactor is a first-of-its-kind design.
Construction is supporting hundreds of jobs, with long-term operations positions to follow, and the plant will provide carbon-free baseload power. Governor Gordon said interest in advanced nuclear energy is growing across the West and that such projects matter for regional energy security.
