The word should is doing some real heavy lifting there. Especially given the subject.
I guess we'll know in 2030 when one should come online.
- HPsquared 1mo agoWe should know by then, at least.
- ViewTrick1002 1mo agoIt just stupidly expensive if it is completed on time and budget. To make the figure at least palatable for public funding the project assumes enormous learning effects for subsequent reactors.
- agarwaen163 1mo agoExcept Valar already did it earlier this year.
- hvb2 1mo agoNot sure what you're referring to but in June they achieved criticality in a demo. While a good milestone that's not at all a functioning reactor connected to the grid. Let alone anything like a repeatable consistent production of said reactor.
