LYMAN — The Uinta County Economic Development Commission (UCEDC) meeting was held at the Lyman Town Hall on Wednesday, July 26, at 3 p.m. Two main topics — a proposed Wyoming shooting complex and an update on the TerraPower Natrium nuclear reactor in Kemmerer — dominated the two-hourlong meeting. Wyoming Energy Futures CEO Rita Meyer, representing TerraPower, provided an update on the progress of the nuclear reactor facility. Meyer, a Rocky Mountain Power retiree, was recruited to represent TerraPower in Lincoln County.

Is Wyoming really going to be the first state with a molten salt reactor? Whodathunkit??

I love that Wymoing brings good news in these times.

    Maybe you should have read the article. This is a research facility. They built a couple of those in Germany a few decades ago but they never managed to bring the technology to maturity. There is nothing to suggest it will be different this time.

      Yikes, you sound combative. I’m excited about the facility. Who cares that research will also be done there?
