Could a Proposed Wyoming Nuclear Reactor Hint at Colorado’s Energy Future?
The Bill Gates–backed project has the potential to provide a blueprint for the expansion of nuclear power throughout the Rocky Mountain West.

Bill Gates and Warren Buffett to build new kind of nuclear reactor in Wyoming
The project in Wyoming – the country’s top coal-producing state – is a small advanced reactor with salt-based storage that could boost output

"We think we've created a model that solves all the key problems using a design called a traveling wave reactor.
TerraPower's reactor could run on many different types of fuel, including the waste from other nuclear facilities. The reactor would produce far less waste than today's plants, would be fully automated-eliminating the possibility of human error-and could be built underground, protecting it from attack. Finally, the design would be inherently safe, using some ingenious features to control the nuclear reaction; for example, the radioactive fuel is contained in pins that expand if they get too hot, which slows the nuclear reaction down and prevents overheating. Accidents would literally be prvented by the laws of physics."
