- AtlasBarfed 5y agoYou are correct, but nuclear is weird: it has so many regulatory and NIMBY hurdles that change is hard. However, what has happened is that many many people have taken a swing at scalable reactors for a long time in the design phase. And we do know the test ORNL reactor for MSR/LFTR practically fit in a closet, at least for the actual reactor. So there is an opportunity.
