TerraPower, a nuclear innovation company, is considering potential plant sites in Kansas, with multiple communities expressing interest in hosting a Natrium power plant. The company is exploring various factors, including geology, water availability, and community support, for site selection. TerraPower’s advanced technology offers benefits such as safety, modularity, and cost-effectiveness. Evergy, which operates the Wolf Creek nuclear plant in Kansas, sees nuclear power as a complement to its generation mix. TerraPower’s first advanced nuclear reactor project is underway in Wyoming, with plans for a similar plant in Kansas following a three and a half year construction timeline.
