Wonder if they will actually be built? I don't think anyone has actually done this yet

Have they actually built any of these reactors?

They're building out in Idaho, but the rising cost of pretty much everything globally slowed them down. They just got the approval for the cost increases in January.

It doesn't help that traditionally nuclear reactors are always ending up way over budget. But hey, atoms go boom!
