A nuclear reactor in Wyoming will be able to surge from 345 to 500 megawatts of power, thanks to a tank of molten salt. This is not a typical nuclear reactor. It is cooled by liquid sodium. The reactor is being built in a town that has long relied on coal. The project is backed by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.
The reactor is being built by TerraPower, a company founded by Gates. Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway Energy is also involved. The reactor is part of a push to transition away from fossil fuels. The project has drawn attention from grid managers across America. The reactor's ability to quickly ramp up power output is seen as a major advantage.
The project is still under construction. The reactor is expected to be completed in the coming years. The reactor's impact on the local economy and energy landscape remains to be determined.
