TerrapopowerNuclear Introduction is established and is supported by Gates Bill, announcing the $ 650 million rounds of funds this week. The investment will help the company build the first commercial power plant.
Like other Nuclear Startup, Terrapower has riding a Interest Waves From hyperskalers, data developers, and, present, design chip. NVIDIA Business arms, NVIDIA, participated in the draw, provides the first energy investment.
Bill Gates and Hyundai HD, both have on the lid table, as well as invested.
Terrapopower Start building the first plant in Wyoming in June 2024. The company has no agreement for the reactor itself, even though it is expecting permission several years. Given Trump’s administrative attitude to nuclear, if the timeline appears enough.
If the first reactor, terrapopower will produce 345 Megawatt Megawatt, Striking the middle ground between the current convented reactor and tomorrow.
Terrapower Natrum reactor is cooled cold but with molten sodium. Natrium design use more sodium than required to work on reactor. According to the design: when the request is low, the reactor can continue operation, so he is hot sodium stored in large tanks.
When you get up again, steam turbines can draw the heat of the saved sodium. Because nuclear power plants are not easy to rise and down, this allows the Natrium reactor continues to move on with a steady state.
The storage system designed to produce 500 Megawatt Megawatt more than five hours, helping filling the gaps and generations.
Startup before pursuing different reactor designs, hoping to finish in the mid 2020s. But after the uncertainty is installed, then replaced the course of proving the design of the current Natrium.
The terrapower states can complete the reactor for the first three years after the first concrete group poured for the reactor. Still, site preparation and construction should occur before happening.
And when there is a sign that the first Natrium reactor will be lower than the latest US reactor, it will not be low-reported press reported years, the bill can reach $ 4 billionhalf that can be arrested by the energy department.
