I mean, true, although I thought they were pretty upfront on wanting to produce the fuel in-house and specialize two reactor lines

Which, yeah, isn’t ideal… But if it works, they can’t patent an element. They won’t be able to monopolize the tech forever

It seems like a very elegant solution… If they can overcome the engineering challenges. There’s probably far better designs that could be made from the core idea
