Bill Gates speaks at U.S.-China event in Seattle, praises clean energy partnership for TerraPower
|
Posted By: Hija Chang on September 24, 2015 Bill Gates wants to develop a better way to produce nuclear energy, and now a Chinese company is helping him do so.
The Microsoft co-founder spoke for a few minutes at an event on Tuesday in Seattle about TerraPower, a Bellevue-based company founded eight years ago that is developing a traveling wave reactor which would improve upon nuclear technologies created in the 1950s. Gates is chairman of the company, which employs 120 and originally spun out of Nathan Myhrvold’s Intellectual Ventures lab.
At an invite-only “Chinese Provinces-U.S. States Business Cooperation Seminar” in downtown Seattle on Tuesday, TerraPower signed a memorandum of understanding with China National Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) to work together on next-generation nuclear power plant technology.
