美国批准建造八年来第一个新的商业核反应堆,这是怀俄明州由比尔·盖茨支持的下一代核电厂。 The U.S. approved construction of the first new commercial nuclear reactor in eight years, a next-gen plant in Wyoming backed by Bill Gates.

美国核管制委员会批准了八年来第一个核反应堆商业建造许可证,授予怀俄明州Kemmerer的TerraPowerNatrium 钠冷却厂,这是40多年来允许的第一个非光水反应堆。 The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission has approved the first commercial construction permit in eight years for a nuclear reactor, awarding TerraPower’s Natrium® sodium-cooled plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming—the first non-light-water reactor permitted in over 40 years. 由比尔·盖茨支持的345兆瓦项目预计将很快开工,到2030年完工,其供电能力可达400 000套住房。 The 345-megawatt project, backed by Bill Gates, is expected to begin construction soon and be completed by 2030, with the ability to power up to 400,000 homes. 该反应堆将使用熔化钠冷却和集成能源储存,目的是比传统反应堆少产生废物。 The reactor will use molten sodium for cooling and integrate energy storage, aiming to produce less waste than traditional reactors. 它将使用高浓缩铀,从国内和南非来源获得燃料采购。 It will use highly enriched uranium, with fuel sourcing being secured from domestic and South African sources. 这一批准标志着先进核能方面的一个重要里程碑,是联邦努力实现清洁能源基础设施现代化和推进能源独立过程中的一项重大里程碑。 The approval marks a major milestone for advanced nuclear energy and comes amid federal efforts to modernize clean energy infrastructure and advance energy independence.
