I hope the actual building looks better in real life than what is depicted in the photo.

It would be ironic if Transportation Secretary had an operable nuclear plant before the Energy Secretary.

Just think how exciting it is to circulate the periodic table through the reactor system and marvel as the isotopic changes during decay. Wouldn’t metallurgists jump at the chance to be involved with this?

The show also had a sense of humor. One episode he was working on a movie set and he was throwing a snow looking substance from a box while standing on a ladder. Box said asbestos.

Generally speaking does it matter? I’m guessing it will use the latest in vibe coding to create an AI powered synergistic crossover system that combines Tesla, SpaceX and NVIDEA methodologies to harmonize extraction of U235 and subsidies.

He has been trying to make the point the NRC rules and regulations are harsh and unnecessary. His reactor is so safe you can hold the spent fuel in your hands so therefore NRC oversight is punitive and hindering innovation.
I like my reactors safe and regulated.

SHINE Technology is building a fusion reactor to produce neutrons to produce medical radioisotopes in Janesville, WI. Lot of cool nuclear technology different than power plants. Their U238 fission products are considered low level waste.

Thanks. Somehow I was skeptical that the professional pickleball association (PPA) started using beryllium triflutes in their rackets.

Until I see actual results I will remain skeptical. I’m tired hearing about a company coming out and saying our product will solve that problem.
Wish them well on this journey.

LWRs had a large learning curve in the beginning. They had mediocre operating performance. Over time they improved operations or were shutdown. Now most have impressive performance.

They commissioned a test loop back in 2010 and by 2013 it appeared to be working. Hopefully it works out well. A lot changes in names since this process started in 2000.

Glad to see this project moving forward. Originally it was going to be built in Wilmington NC but was shelved when demand for enriched uranium declined in 2012.
