Nuclear Reactors 1109 TerraPower Demo Reactor Delayed At Least Two Year Due To Scarce Fuel
TerraPower’s demonstration of an advanced reactor will be delayed by at least two years because the only source for the fuel it burns is Russia. The Ukraine war has stopped the trade in such materials. TerraPower is planning to construct its first reactor in the frontier-era coal town of Kemmerer, Wyoming. They had hoped to finish the demonstration reactor by 2028.
