Asunto: Information-Sharing Advances Traveling-Wave Reactor Technology
| Our hard work has created quite a buzz. We are still exploring options for aspects of the TWR technology, but want to acknowledge all the interest generated from recent media coverage. The reality is that we are sharing information about our Traveling-Wave Reactor (TWR) design with a variety of U.S. and international organizations and governments to listen, learn and discuss future options for the design. But we have not entered into agreements with any companies to build or operate the TWR at this time. The Traveling Wave Reactor design is still in the research and development (R&D) phase. Today’s energy and climate problems require more R&D than any one nation can provide. We cannot succeed without collaborative technology development. That’s why TerraPower researchers are learning from demonstrated technologies and best engineering practices worldwide. To be clear, the TerraPower team’s information sharing complies with U.S. regulation. We’re excited to see enthusiasm for the prospects of our technology. As the R&D effort progresses, we’ll be posting our relevant results here on the blog. To read our full statement, take a look at the pdf. |
