Construction firm Bechtel broke ground on the Natrium Advanced Reactor Demonstration Project.

The project is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program.

The Natrium reactor’s design will create a new approach to nuclear plant construction, designed to be safer, cleaner, faster, and more efficient than other energy source alternatives.

The project will bring a commercial, advanced nuclear reactor online, delivering carbon-free, reliable power to the electrical grid and creating jobs in Wyoming.

The project is part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program.
