Bechtel is exiting its EPC contract for TerraPower's Natrium advanced nuclear reactor project in Wyoming but will complete current key work and support transition. TerraPower plans to rebid the EPC contract and stay on track for 2030 construction completion and 2031 commercial operation of the first Natrium plant.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

TerraPower’s EPC contractor shift opens a rare bidding window for construction firms in advanced nuclear. You can position to fill gaps left if Bechtel scales back and join a pioneering project that shapes U.S. advanced nuclear build-outs.
