Advanced nuclear reactor proposed for Richland
The TRi Energy Partnership said it could be operating within seven years, and the project could be scaled up to a four-reactor, 320-megawatt power plant.
RICHLAND (AP) — A Maryland-based nuclear energy company has signed a partnership agreement this week with a public utility company in Richland to develop, build and operate a commercial advanced nuclear power reactor.
X-energy of Rockville, Maryland, will work with Energy Northwest of Richland and Grant County Public Utility District to build an 80-megawatt reactor on land already leased by Energy Northwest at the Hanford nuclear reservation in eastern Washington, the Tri-City Herald reported Thursday.
