At last! Cool.
I believe there was one in Germany once but they could not run it because of retard protests.< a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNR-300">SNR-300

A township municipal judge in Vermont will halt this and cause 30 years of litigation.

A good use for all this electricity would be to power the massive electric strip mining shovels and mine even more coal.

These two scumbags will sell the nuclear waste to anybody who wants to kill millions of people with a dirty bomb and leave fertile farmland irradiated, so more millions will starve to death.

If this is the pebble-bed type of reactor, it’s quite safe and produces waste with far less radioactivity.

"sell the nuclear waste to anybody "
The reactor can run off used uranium waste. USA has over eighty thousand tons of spent nuclear fuel in storage facilities around the USA.
We could solve our used Uranium waste problem and be green at the same time.
GE nuclear reactor eats its own waste

Their is a whole class of "Gen 4" Nuclear Reactors on the drawing board.
Many of these cutting edge designs are coming from Canada, and frankly I am afraid the U.S. could loose the lead, in N-power if we had one at all. These designed use a host of fuels, some will burn current waste and design features that I can barely wrap my head around. One uses "heat pipes" not water or molten salts to transfer the heat
I am not fan of Gates or Buffet, however they have piles of cash to throw at these Gen 4 projects. Warning, Gates threw a ton of $ at the linear piston diesel that imho was a kludge, and it quietly disappeared. So even though he throws spaghetti at the wall it doesn't always stick.
Not investment advice, however this might be a marketplace to keep an eye on 3 to 5 yrs hence to see who goes public and if interested how to get aboard, some of us might already be following them, especially on Twitter...

I like the idea- nuclear power is good.
I wonder though, if this might explain Liz Cheney’s weird behavior. She gives them some red meat criticism of Trump in exchange for them putting the project in her state, plus this state’s legislature is less likely to object to nuclear power than the typical “blue” state.

This type of reactor has been on my radar ever since I caught a few ted talks from former anti-nuclear power leaders showing that it now IS the future and is the safest form of power generation.
I give them kudos for changing their mind as they obtained new information.

Coal is bad but nuclear is good. These people are insane.

Gates and Buffett should be forced to live in Chernobyl for a month and see how they like it, if they survive.

Because I have a suspicion it’s not for a good reason.

"If this is the pebble-bed type of reactor, it’s quite safe and produces waste with far less radioactivity." It uses waste as its fuel, it can't melt down, etc. It can help us with the waste stored up.
I saw a one hour special on this reactor and was sold on it.
