This is really exciting. Fission tech is largely stuck in with incremental improvements from the 1950s. The last time the NRC got an application for a research reactor was 30 years ago. The reactor is a graphite-moderated, fluoride salt flowing fluid design. If this works well, fission will have a very bright future as it should be more efficient and much safer to operate than current reactor designs.
