Curtiss-Wright Delivers Training Simulator and RPS for TerraPower Natrium Plant
What happened
Curtiss-Wright completed the installation of the Stage 1 Training Simulator (TSN) at TerraPower’s Natrium site in Kemmerer, Wyoming. The TSN is a full-scope simulator that replicates plant equipment and system conditions to support operator training and licensing. Curtiss-Wright is also developing the Distributed Control Systems (DCS) and the Reactor Protection System (RPS) for the plant.

Why it matters
The Natrium design is a 345-megawatt sodium-cooled fast reactor, which is expected to be the first utility-scale advanced nuclear power plant. This work helps lay the foundation for scaling a qualified nuclear workforce across every future Natrium plant.
Curtiss-Wright is involved in the US market for nuclear power growth.
