A nuclear research facility is about to open in Everett
EVERETT — TerraPower, an energy company started by Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, will open a 65,000-square-foot research facility in south Everett near Paine Field.
The Bellevue-based firm aims to develop nuclear power generation systems that can use nuclear waste as fuel.
“In addition to energy and climate solutions, we are exploring ways to miniaturize cancer treatments to preserve the health of patients,” Chris Levesque, TerraPower’s CEO, told The Daily Herald.
The company expects to employ about 100 workers at the site, including people in engineering, testing, project management, quality, safety and lab operations, Levesque said.
