    The Kemmerer Unit 1 project... would be used to demonstrate the TerraPower and General Electric-Hitachi Natrium sodium fast reactor technology. [0]

    And the verbiage that many will glance over yet will have the greatest future impacts for all alive is: "...includes an energy storage system..."

    Todays U.S. meeting "Roundtable on Ratepayer Protection Pledge" with the U.S. President himself leading that meeting garnished commitments from Big Tech as it relates to energy. In time Big Tech Energy divisions will be thing and some citizens will be paying their utilities bill to them.

      There are large solar power stations on the grid in California owned by tech firms so you may indeed already be paying, indirectly, Apple for energy.

    "'streamlined' mandatory hearing process" means "pushed through because TerraPower spent on $645k legitimatized bribery in 2025." [0]

    "The approval also makes good on a promise by the Trump administration to fast-track the TerraPower project, which comes months ahead of the administration’s target of 18 months. The company says the accelerated approval by the NRC shows the importance of and focus on America advancing nuclear power." [1]

    The real, unanswered questions are how they got or will get insurance and what the locals think of pedo Bill Gates building an experimental nuclear reactor in their town.

      What are the substantive safety or environmental objections to the project that TerraPower is bypassing by allegedly bribing the government?

    This is huge, historic even.
