Bill Gates and his energy company have started construction at a Wyoming site adjacent to a coal plant to build a revolutionary next-generation nuclear power plant using sodium for cooling. This project aims to revolutionize power generation and provide safe, abundant, zero-carbon energy. The TerraPower project, expected to cost up to $4 billion with half funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, involves a sodium-cooled fast reactor design with a molten salt energy storage system, emphasizing innovation in advanced nuclear technology for a simpler, cheaper, safer, and more efficient design.
