Logistics Specialist

Requisition ID: 295662 Project Overview The Natrium Demonstration Project is a part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program. This sodium fast reactor design uses sodium to cool the reactor instead of water. Set against the backdrop of a retiring coal plant in Kemmerer, Wyoming, this advanced energy demonstration seeks to validate the design, construction, and operational features of the Natrium system. At the heart of the project lies a 345 MWe sodium‑cooled fast reactor, coupled with a molten salt‑based energy storage system. This innovative storage technology empowers the system to boost its output to 500 MWe of power when needed, equivalent to the energy required to power around 400,000 homes. The integration of energy storage capabilities not only enhances grid stability but also enables seamless integration with renewable resources, marking a significant milestone in our transition to a greener energy future.
