Bechtel is the licensing, engineering, procurement, and construction partner on Terra Power’s Natrium team. Selected by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) for its Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program, Natrium is participating in a DOE initiative to re-establish U.S. leadership in nuclear energy that provides matching funding to industry to design and build an operational advanced reactor. Terra Power will be deploying its 345 MWe sodium fast reactor (SFR), called Natrium, with an innovative molten salt energy storage system designed to complement solar and wind power.

The Natrium plant can produce more than 500 MWe of power when the reactor and energy storage output are combined. This DOE program has the potential to be the largest funding program for advanced nuclear power in U.S. history and will shape the future of nuclear energy for decades.
