Doosan Enerbility Wins Contract for TerraPower’s Advanced Nuclear Reactor

Doosan Enerbility has secured a significant contract to manufacture critical components for an advanced nuclear reactor being developed by U.S. nuclear technology company TerraPower. The agreement marks a substantial expansion of cooperation between the two companies and positions Doosan Enerbility for a key role in TerraPower's first nuclear power plant project.

The reactor, which will be built in Kemmerer, Wyoming, will utilize sodium-cooled fast reactor technology and generate up to 500 megawatts of power. Doosan Enerbility will be responsible for manufacturing a reactor containment vessel, support structures, and internal components for the sodium-cooled reactor. The contract comes after several years of close collaboration between the Korean company and TerraPower, during which Doosan Enerbility has worked to address potential manufacturing challenges and develop design improvements.

Industry analysts see the agreement as a potential reference project for Doosan Enerbility in the growing advanced reactor market. The company's experience in manufacturing for conventional nuclear power plants, combined with its efforts to adapt to next-generation designs, could enhance its competitiveness in the global market.

TerraPower's first nuclear power plant represents an important milestone in the commercialization of advanced nuclear technology in the United States, with the project receiving support from the U.S. government as it seeks to expand advanced nuclear power as part of its energy and industrial policy. For Doosan Enerbility, this project offers opportunities to secure additional orders as TerraPower grows its reactor fleet and to gain valuable experience with the company's technology and manufacturing requirements.
