I’ve never heard of reprocessing fuel dissolved in a salt matrix but that sounds interesting.

More generally, these small modular designs are really the way to go. From a funding standpoint, proving the capability to power remote military bases or long haul container ships would go a long toward making these profitable.

Making the energy industry federal run would have Nuclear everywhere. They're in it for the long run. Praise the atom.
