TerraPower - Alternative Nuclear Technology

TerraPower began as a series of explorations related to many energy technologies. Out of these explorations came an advanced nuclear energy solution that presents a new path toward an affordable, safe form of carbon-free energy.
TerraPower aims to develop a sustainable and economic nuclear energy system while greatly reducing proliferation risks and creating new options for converting low-level waste into vast energy resources.
