Evergy Inc., in collaboration with TerraPower and the Kansas Department of Commerce, has announced a memorandum of understanding to explore the deployment of TerraPower's Natrium® reactor and energy storage system in Kansas. This initiative aims to evaluate site-specific characteristics for a potential advanced nuclear power plant within Evergy's service territory. The project will consider various factors, such as community support, site licensing potential, and existing infrastructure. Governor Laura Kelly and U.S. Senators Jerry Moran and Roger Marshall have expressed their support, highlighting the project's potential to offer reliable, clean energy and strengthen U.S. energy independence. The collaboration underscores an "all-of-the-above" approach to meeting Kansas' future energy needs, focusing on innovative and non-carbon emitting solutions.
