How is this fundamentally different from Nuscale approval? Like Nuscale this is also brand new design, sodium fast reactor, that hasn't been commercially deployed and is likely to run into usual ballooning budgets and western nuclear construction roadblocks/delays


If there’s more than one approval a decade maybe the odds will be higher it won’t be a bloated mess.


Or you just have two bloated messes


Nuscale wasn't a sodium fast reactor. Perhaps you phrased that poorly? Nuscale is a PWR.


I wanted to emphasise both are untested new designs that are likely to run in to troubles, one is SMR and the other Sodium.


They're already building this one. Nuscale didn't break ground AFAIK.
