TerraPower’s Molten Chloride Fast Reactor (MCFR) project expands the ability of nuclear reactor technology to decarbonize the economy in sectors including and beyond electricity. The MCFR technology operates at higher temperatures than conventional reactors, thus generating electricity more efficiently and without emissions. Its unique design also offers potential for process heat applications and thermal storage. Its unparalleled design features make it a highly efficient, low-cost and carbon-free energy solution to help utilities and industries reach decarbonization goals.

TerraPower`s Traveling Wave Reactor (TWR®) design remains an important, long-term goal of the Natrium™ program. A fleet of TWR plants will be able to operate for centuries with unenriched uranium fuel, needing enriched uranium to start only the first reactor in the long chain of plants. The TWR design offers 30 times more efficient use of mined uranium and a factor of five reduction in waste, all based on a once-through fuel cycle without the safety and proliferation concerns of reprocessing used fuel. With its major non-proliferation benefits, it will be an ideal technology for international deployment, as many new countries turn to emissions-free nuclear energy to meet the needs of their citizens and growing economies.
