Last week, Evergy announced a memorandum of understanding involving the Kansas Department of Commerce and TerraPower — the developer of the Natrium reactor and related technology. Penzig says there have been longstanding conversations about possibly bringing additional nuclear power to Evergy customers. The MOU lets TerraPower search for a site for a Natrium reactor in the Evergy Kansas service area, with a decision at some point next year. When the MOU was announced last week, Penzig said a complementary Natrium reactor at Wolf Creek was not ruled out. Regardless of longstanding or new technology, Penzig stresses nuclear energy is safe.
