This design is very different.

I never said it wasn't.

But in the nuke power business, it's always the unexpected that bites you in the butt. Why anyone would put their faith in the devastatingly horrific potential of a nuke when we can't even secure government computers is totally beyond me.

The biggest problem with modern nukes as we know them, is that radioactivity inherently renders the equipment closer to an unsafe failure.

That could be excused as unexpected 70 years ago. No such thing today.

The uncontrolled failure mode of this is a "non-event" shutdown. Expensive yes, dangerous no.
