>Good evening. For more than 60 years, the town of Kemmerer, Wyoming, has relied on a coal-fired power plant for electricity and jobs. Last year, the plant’s final coal-fired units shut down, though a recent conversion from coal to natural gas helped prevent over 100 layoffs. With the future of the town’s energy and economy uncertain, residents and local leaders are now looking to nuclear energy as a potential solution.
The Nuclear Regulatory Commission has authorized its staff to issue a construction permit to TerraPower’s subsidiary, US SFR Owner, for the Kemmerer Power Station Unit 1. This will be the first commercial nuclear reactor approved for construction in the United States in nearly a decade — and the first non-light water reactor in more than 40 years.
