Utah is officially in the running for a Bill Gates–backed nuclear plant. (Salt Lake Tribune)
The state signed an MOU with TerraPower (developer of the Natrium sodium-cooled fast reactor) and Flagship Companies to identify potential sites, with a preliminary list expected by year’s end.
Less than half of Utahns like the idea of building nuclear facilities in the state, but Gov. Spencer Cox plans to spend ~$2M on a messaging campaign meant to amp up public sentiment.
