Bill Gates-Backed TerraPower Starts Construction of First U.S. Sodium-Cooled Nuclear Reactor in Wyoming

Bill Gates-backed nuclear company TerraPower began construction on a sodium-cooled Natrium reactor facility near a retiring coal plant in Wyoming, aiming to start power production by 2030. This project, the first coal-to-nuclear transition globally, is awaiting U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval for its advanced reactor design.
