Will, this is great reporting. Digging one layer deeper beyond the marketing material and considering the larger picture. I learned something here, Thanks!

Here are two questions I have failed to find the answer to... perhaps that are fodder for later pieces if they sound like the might be of wider interest:

I have been excited about these lower pressure, walk-away-safe reactors (like the molten salt) as a scalable way forward. But I have failed to find a good analysis of what the realistic price per Kwh could get down to after efficiencies of scale optimized their production.

The problem of waste would still exist, but it seems if the price could be taken well below coal per KwH, we could massively reduce carbon is a short period of time. But I have failed to find that kind of analysis.
