#4 lots of different groups are working on small modular reactors

NuScale is expecting to build in Idaho and another company is expecting to build in the Tennessee Valley.

There was funding in the 'infrastructure' bill for a testing site in Idaho which would try out different materials, different composite designs, etc. for the components of reactors. I don't know how that is coming.

#5 Had there not been stoppage of building and new development due to hysteria, we would be much further along. It seems the "proliferation" concerns that Jimmuah Cahtah used as an excuse to kill Clinch River have moved ahead anyway.

#7 ^ There's much of the problem. Here in the US, every plant was engineered almost from scratch, re-invent the wheel every time. For regulatory reasons, doncha know...

#8 And continuously re-engineered during construction, to make it even safer.
