2026, move faster, we need to steam roll this thing! Get it fully online in 1 year! I know this is substantially quicker than other reactors but AI and Crypto need it now haha
Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this very exciting and compelling decision to use A Molton Salt Reactor as base load power great content cheers Frank
This is a breeder reactor which is best at producing plutonium for nuclear bombs, rather than power for ratepayers. It takes fissile material and the 99.3% of natural Uranium, U238, and turns it into fissile Plutonium, and then more plutonium, the preferred material for bombs. How the U.S. Government's interest is served in subsidizing Nuclear proliferation is beyond me. India rapidly diverted it's Canadian CANDU reactor to breed plutonium bombs, quickly followed by Pakistan. Saudi Arabia wants the bomb, as do many developing nations. Sodium metal fast breeder reactors are nothing new, though they were abandoned as sodium metal explodes violently when exposed to water and the reactor is unreliable, and has much reduced reaction time to deal with problems, such as that experienced during the meltdown of Fermi 1. DTE still refuses reporters access to the site. Given a flood can cool a section of sodium coolant to form a blockage and explode another. Novel and proven safe are opposites. UAW leaders opposed Fermi 1 being next to a population center and were proven correct. It does, however promise to be the most expensive power for ratepayers. This is a dangerous proliferative technology that we should oppose vigorously.

It's crazy that we are still building coal plants.
Good old China. [sarcasm]
@2:53 US energy demand doubles from 2022 to 2023???? wtf
AI and EVs, growing population.

"Costs around half the price" but is a third the output. But hopefully costs will come down and fast spectrum breader reactors will become more common
The guy asking questions for CNBC did not appear to be very science literate. Hopefully, they will be allowed to build this plant.
Investment opportunity in Nano Nuclear Energy Inc now.
Great news, but it takes way too long to plan and build!
AI and CRYPTO will build their own nuclear electricity plants.😮😮😮😮
Never get in the way of government guaranteed monopoly money and a CEO.
Buy UEC
Next reaction - October ends Damaged 😍
We should cool the reactors with graphite!! :)
With Rising Demand for ELECTRICITY from AI, this is the solution.

Well there always that Musk kid and shipping wast off to space or storing it on the moon
