Natrium

Bill Gates is in Wyoming to celebrate a new nuclear power plant that he's funding. The plant is called Natrium and it's designed by TerraPower, a company started by Gates. The plant will be safer and produce less waste than conventional reactors. It's important because nuclear power is needed to meet the world's energy needs while also eliminating carbon emissions.

Bill Gates has visited Kemmerer, Wyoming to celebrate the latest step in a project that has been more than 15 years in the making: designing and building a next-generation nuclear power plant. The facility, called Natrium, was designed by TerraPower, a company founded by Gates in 2008. When it opens (potentially in 2030), it will be the most advanced nuclear facility in the world, with improved safety features and far less waste production than conventional reactors. This is significant because nuclear power is essential for meeting global energy demands while simultaneously reducing carbon emissions.
