- The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved a construction permit for TerraPower's advanced nuclear reactor in Kemmerer, Wyoming.
- Wyoming leads the nation in uranium production, making it ideal for this sodium-cooled Natrium reactor that uses liquid sodium instead of water to cool and generate power.
- Senators Barrasso and Lummis say this project diversifies Wyoming's energy economy and boosts jobs near a retiring coal plant.
Senator John Barrasso declares Wyoming the future of nuclear energy after the Nuclear Regulatory Commission greenlights TerraPower's cutting-edge reactor in Kemmerer. The project swaps out a dying coal plant for clean, reliable nuclear power right next door. It matters because Wyoming's huge uranium reserves and energy expertise position the state to lead America's shift to advanced nuclear tech.
