TerraPower announces molten chloride reactor research
TerraPower has decided to diversify its efforts by researching molten chloride reactor technology, as well as its signature traveling wave reactor. "The traveling wave reactor was the focus of our early work, and it’s still the baseline product of the company," said TerraPower Director of Innovation Jeff Latkowski. "But we are looking at other projects that we believe address the three critical areas for nuclear power: safety, the environment, and costs."
