Seattle Friends of Fission is pleased to offer a talk on how a coal-powered plant is being transformed to a non-carbon emitting energy producer.

Moving from coal to clean nuclear power in Wyoming, the Natrium Reactor Project will be built, providing jobs, and reliable, safe, resilient clean energy.
This is incredibly exciting as it will be one of the first next-gen (IV) reactors built in the United States. How it fits into the energy mix of today and tomorrow will be discussed by a lead on the project.

We are fortunate to have Mark Werner, Vice President of Plant Delivery for Natrium projects. He is a mechanical engineer by trade, who develops and leads engineering teams that design advanced reactor concepts focused on impacting future energy markets. Mark has worked in plant layout and design, reactor system and equipment design, reactor core design and fuel design in his past positions. Mark has worked for TerraPower for 12 years, and prior to that worked on Reactor designs for the US Navy’s nuclear fleet at Knolls Atomic Power Laboratory in upstate NY. Mark has a M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Union College and B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (Drexel University)
Mark will be interviewed by Scott Montgomery, University of Washington faculty from the Jackson School of International Studies.
