TerraPower said that a location near the Naughton Power Plant has been selected as its preferred site after “an extensive evaluation process and meetings with community members and leaders.” Two coal units are scheduled to retire at the Naughton plant in 2025. TerraPower said that factors in the decision to select the site “included community support, the physical characteristics of the site, the ability of the site to obtain a license from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), access to existing infrastructure, and the needs of the grid.”
