A Wyoming nuclear power plant has been delayed by at least two years because of a shortage of special fuel which is only available from Russia.
TerraPower, founded by Bill Gates, said a 345MW nuclear demonstration plant to be built in Kemmerer, Wyoming, would be delayed because of difficulty in getting the enriched uranium fuel it needs. The plant is backed by the US Department of Energy (DOE).

It's too bad, this is a good direction for us to transition to. This type of Nuclear can be ramped up or down in grid supply because it includes local thermal storage. Nuclear itself has to be run at a steady state.
