Meyer: Natrium reactor planned for Kemmerer ‘redefines nuclear energy’
kemmerergazette.com
LYMAN — The Uinta County Economic Development Commission (UCEDC) meeting was held at the Lyman Town Hall on Wednesday, July 26, at 3 p.m. Two main topics — a proposed Wyoming shooting complex and an update on the TerraPower Natrium nuclear reactor in Kemmerer — dominated the two-hourlong meeting. Wyoming Energy Futures CEO Rita Meyer, representing TerraPower, provided an update on the progress of the nuclear reactor facility. Meyer, a Rocky Mountain Power retiree, was recruited to represent TerraPower in Lincoln County.

Is Wyoming really going to be the first state with a molten salt reactor? Whodathunkit??

I love that Wymoing brings good news in these times.

    How can you possibly say “Nothing has changed”? Material Science has come so far in the last 5 years, let alone the past 30 years, that I’m certain the problems experienced by other efforts will be quickly addressed

    Now whether or not that means this design will be immediately commercially viable is an entirely different issue, but we can’t advance forward without doing research to find out.

      That’s not what I said. I said there have been no fundamental breakthroughs that would indicate things will go different this time.
