TerraPower, the Bill Gates-backed energy company, is building Wyoming's first advanced nuclear power plant outside Kemmerer, and the state has amended its law to allow storage of spent fuel from any in-state nuclear facility. Wyoming is actively recruiting nuclear operators and considering hosting uranium mining and microreactor manufacturing alongside waste storage — positioning itself as a nuclear hub if federal authorities don't build a centralized waste facility. But the linked article notes Wyoming communities feel rushed into these decisions without adequate time to weigh environmental and safety concerns, and the actual trajectory depends partly on whether the feds establish centralized storage elsewhere.
