South Korean conglomerate SK Group said it is looking at an investment of up to 10% in the company founded by Bill Gates that is developing a new generation nuclear power reactor.
The Chosun Ilbo newspaper reported that SK, which has interests in chemical and energy, had been in talks with TerraPower, which has chosen a site in the US state of Wyoming as the preferred location for its first Natrium small modular rector.
SK did not confirm it was in discussions with TerraPower, but said it had been reviewing a potential investment in next-generation nuclear technology in a bid to decarbonise its operations. The company has not made a final decision, it said.
