The contracts cover the design and delivery of the Training Simulator and the Distributed Control System for the Natrium plant. The Training Simulator is a full-scope simulator that will replicate plant equipment and simulate system conditions and operations to support operator training and licensing. The Distrbuted Control System is a digital platform that serves as a core component for automating control and operation of plant processes.

The company has also been selected to develop control systems for the plant’s nuclear island and its energy island. Previously, Curtiss-Wright has been selected to develop the Reactor Protection System for the Natrium plant, and the software platform and engineering services for the Natrium Engineering Simulator.

The Natrium reactor is a 345 MW sodium fast reactor coupled with a molten salt energy storage system and can simultaneously both carbon-free electricity, heat and steam to support decarbonisation of power and industrial sectors. The first reactor is being built in Kemmerer, Wyoming and TerraPower experts its first Natrium plant to be on line in 2030.
