Work is progressing fast just outside Kemmerer at TerraPower’s first-of-its-kind nuclear power project. Cowboy State Daily went on a tour to get an inside look at the 167-foot-tall facility that will stress-test massive Natrium reactor components.
The first thing a visitor to TerraPower’s site in Wyoming will notice is just how tiny the company’s rapidly rising Test and Fill Facility is rising up against the surrounding snow-dusted hillsides.
From a distance, the steel beams look terribly tiny, like breakable matchsticks that a strong Wyoming wind could come along and blow away.
