Nuclear Fission: Terrapower's Wyoming Reactor 🌎 SOSV CLIMATE TECH SUMMIT 2024

In August, Terrapower’s lead investor, Bill Gates, was in Kemmerer, Wyoming to break ground for Terrapower’s Natrium nuclear power plant, the first in the US to use liquid sodium as a coolant (instead of water) and also the recipient of the largest single federal commitment ever to a private project – 50% of the $4 billion project. Now it has to wait two years for NRC approval; powering up is projected for 2030. In the meantime, investments in nuclear fission grew 18% year-on-year to reach $1.3 billion since 2020, according to Sightline Climate. Are we witnessing nuclear fission’s second coming?

Chris Levesque (President & CEO, TerraPower) speakers with moderator Candice Ammori (Founder & CEO, The Climate Vine) in this panel.
