    Bill Gates has started constructing a 345-megawatt Natrium nuclear reactor in the US. This innovative reactor uses sodium as a coolant, operating at lower, non-pressurized temperatures.
    TerraPower, Gates’ firm, and the Department of Energy are spearheading the project in Wyoming, aiming for completion by 2030.
    The Natrium reactor, featuring TerraPower’s molten salt energy storage, offers gigawatt-scale energy storage.
    Unlike traditional reactors, it utilizes natural cooling forces, enhancing safety and cost-efficiency. This marks a significant advancement in US nuclear technology.
