The nuclear power plant to be constructed is a small power plant equipped with a sodium-cooled fast reactor , and will operate on a different fuel than conventional reactors. It can generate 345 MW of electricity and can increase its power generation capacity to 500 MW when electricity demand peaks. It also has a molten salt- based energy storage system.
The new nuclear power plant is an important carbon-free technology in Wyoming, which is working to reduce carbon dioxide emissions that cause climate change, and can supply more electricity than wind and solar power can provide. It is considered. 'The new nuclear power plant is
The specific construction area of the nuclear power plant has not been announced, and it is scheduled to be announced by the end of 2021. 'It takes seven years to build a plant, and life in the 2030s needs this kind of clean energy,' said Chris Levek, president of TerraPower.
At the end of 2020, the US Department of Energy is subsidizing TerraPower for $ 80 million as an initial cost to demonstrate new sodium technology. 'The country will continue to rely on Wyoming's energy for decades to come,' said Senator John Barrasso.
In addition, Mr. Gates appeared on the overseas bulletin board reddit in 2014, 'Modern society needs a low cost and reliable energy source. Safety, costability, and waste problems We believe that nuclear energy production can solve this problem if it is resolved. Terrapower can solve this problem and is already in discussions with some countries about its introduction. '
'Hey, Bill Gates, but do you have any questions?'
