The goal of @TerraPower is to avoid having to develop an off-site radiological emergency plan for its proposed #Natrium fast #nuclear reactor in #Wyoming. It's always easier to fine-tune a calculation when you know the answer you want in advance. nrc.gov/docs/ML2220/ML22207B…

The #1 thing we can do to help people who are poor, oppressed, & hungry is to drive down the cost of energy.

The price of solar has gone down so far (90% in 13 years) and so fast that it is now the cheapest form of energy available. This is as close to a miracle as you can get in the world of energy technology.

Did you know? Plant Vogtle is a management disaster that Ga Power profits from and customers pay for.
