Canada is turning out to be quite the country for nuclear innovation, because their regulators are much friendlier to new technology than the NRC in the US. Terrestrial Energy (a molten salt reactor company) has spoken highly of them, and Moltex (another MSR company) moved there as a result.
- a_square_peg 5y agoOh wow, I did not know that. I had only been aware of CANDU reactors and had the impression that there wasn't much else going on in Canada.

It's gotten investment well into nine figures, and is building a reactor for a net power attempt around 2025. https://generalfusion.com/ https://generalfusion.com/
