In response to a May 26 Nucleonics Week story on nTerraPower’s reactor design, company spokeswoman Laura nHermann said in a June 2 e-mail, “The physics of what nTerraPower is working on remains the same — the traveling nwave idea…[which] is to arrange unenriched fuel (or future nfuels) in a way as to sustain a fission reaction in situ, in the ncore, for the life of the reactor. TerraPower is still pursing ntraveling wave technology — the mechanics of the [traveling nwave reactor] core have changed.” Hermann also said the ncompany does not intend to build its own supply chain.
