At its core, the company is working to raise living standards globally through a more affordable, secure and environmentally friendly form of nuclear energy along with innovations in medical isotopes to improve human health. In 2006, TerraPower originated with Bill Gates and a group of like-minded visionaries who evaluated the fundamental challenges to raising living standards around the world. They recognized energy access was crucial to the health and economic well-being of communities and decided that the private sector needed to take action and create energy sources that would advance global energy deployment. TerraPower's mission is to be a world leader in new nuclear technologies, while developing innovators and future leaders in the nuclear field. As a result, the company's activities in the fields of nuclear energy and related sciences are yielding significant innovations in the safety and economics of nuclear power, hybrid energy and medical applications - all for significant human health benefits. TerraPower is seeking to hire highly motivated and forward-thinking professionals who are interested in focusing on advanced nuclear reactor research and development and influencing change within the nuclear power landscape and bringing forward the critical production of medical isotopes. Technical Lead, Sodium Cover Gas Systems The Sodium Cover Gas Technical Lead is a position focused on product ownership of the sodium cover gas system for the Natrium Reactor. The sodium cover gas system controls, monitors, and supplies inert argon gas to various systems and components throughout the Reactor Building (RXB), Reactor Auxiliary Building (RAB), and Fuel Handling Building (FHB), and filters alkali metal vapor and aerosols from the cover gas exhaust. It also monitors for and locates failed fuel, and monitors for leaks.
