Doosan Enerbility, a prominent South Korean construction firm, has announced a significant contract with U.S. nuclear energy company TerraPower to supply critical equipment for the construction of its small modular reactor (SMR) project. The equipment to be manufactured includes a guard vessel, internal structures, and support structures for TerraPower's Natrium advanced reactor.
The exact financial value of the deal has not been disclosed by Doosan Enerbility. The Natrium reactor, an advanced SMR, integrates a sodium-cooled fast reactor with a molten-salt energy storage system. This contract follows a previous agreement between the two companies in December 2024 to review the design of the three primary components for TerraPower's first Natrium reactor.
The 345-megawatt unit, which recently broke ground, is currently under construction in Wyoming. The announcement coincides with a visit by TerraPower's founder and chair, Bill Gates, to Seoul for discussions with South Korean companies and government officials about expanding nuclear energy cooperation.
