What was one of the primary selling points for the Bill Gates Natrum Reactor to be built in Kemmerer, Wyoming? They would use Wyoming Uranium – which would bring jobs.
That was a either a bald-faced lie or a pipe-dream:
(August 11, 2025)
“An American isotope company listed on Nasdaq, Isotope Technologies USA (ISP), has announced plans to begin uranium enrichment operations at South Africa’s Pelindaba Nuclear Research Center under a new cooperation agreement with the South African Nuclear Energy Corporation (Necsa)…
In May, ISP signed a loan agreement worth up to $22 million with TerraPower, the U.S. nuclear innovation company founded by Bill Gates, to partially finance the new enrichment facility at Pelindaba. Commercial production is expected to begin once regulatory approvals are secured.
Under an initial supply agreement, the enriched fuel will be used in TerraPower’s Natrium reactor project in Wyoming, which is slated to begin operations between 2027 and 2028. The deal is estimated at $375 million over 18 months, depending on fuel volumes and a fixed price.
Negotiations are also underway for a long-term 10-year supply contract running from 2028 to 2037, covering up to 150 metric tons of high-assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) with a total value of up to $3.75 billion.”
