I wonder if these are going to be the low grade pebble type reactors?

No these are advanced design PWRs using the standard fuel bundle approach. This is not to say that the bundle design is standard.

Thanks Nucl. I had thought that there had been some fairly important breakthroughs along the pebbles line, and it had been my understanding that the industry was headed in that direction.

I’m just a layman, so I am only addressing what I’ve read here over time.
