Bill Gates is partnering with Chung Ki Sun, vice chairman of Hyundai, to develop small modular reactor (SMR) projects through Gates' nuclear startup, TerraPower. Their collaboration includes constructing a 345-megawatt Natrium reactor in Wyoming, aimed at enhancing nuclear energy's efficiency and sustainability. Despite concerns about the technology's safety and the inherent challenges of nuclear waste management, proponents argue that SMRs could play a crucial role in transitioning to cleaner energy sources.
