The US Department of Energy (DOE) has completed a final environmental assessment for preliminary activities at TerraPower’s Natrium reactor system demonstration project in Kemmerer, Wyoming, a statement said.
The DOE said it had found no significant impact from planned activities for what will be Unit 1 at the advanced nuclear plant near a retired coal-fired station in Kemmerer, Wyoming.
The DOE said it is proposing an authorisation of federal funding for TerraPower to carry out the activities, which include site preparation, non-structural backfill, construction of multiple buildings and, establishing temporary power.
