Definition
The term, in context
AI-assisted draft · approved dataset
Natrium is TerraPower's reactor design, a sodium-cooled fast reactor that operates unpressurized and pairs with a molten-salt thermal energy storage system. The reactor itself runs continuously at a steady output, while stored heat lets the plant's electrical output be temporarily boosted on demand, giving a nuclear baseload plant the kind of dispatch flexibility usually associated with a gas-fired plant.
