Evidence detail
Target: commercial operation, 2028
Original in-service target (2028), announced as slipping at least two years because of HALEU fuel supply
A stated target, not something that has happened. It does not set a state. Targets can move; earlier and later ones are both kept.
“TerraPower has said it expects operation of the Natrium demonstration reactor to be delayed by at least two years because there will not be sufficient commercial capacity to manufacture high-assay low-enriched uranium fuel in time to meet the proposed 2028 in-service date.”
