Having worked in the industry, I like seeing companies pledging to get involved with nuclear power. However, there is a dearth of people experienced with the design and development of new reactor technology. The development pathway of building up the supply lines, understanding the complexities of the various systems, etc. is long. I laughed at first many years ago when I saw some new reactor designs taking 10years but it turns out in a lot of cases that's optimistic. It's a shame, because development in the mid 20th century was a LOT faster. And the people involved moved from one new reactor design to the next, bringing valuable experience. Much of the work force entering this industry are entirely green and need an understanding of existing reactor technologies and why some designs were made a certain way before trying to reinvent them. Looking at the development in Russia and India could be very helpful.
