Re: Timing
"Yeah, I don't think the current nuclear industry is designed to actually productise innovative technologies into real, running, commercial reactors"
A big part of the problem are the regulatory agencies. MSR's are "unproven" technology so getting the required permission to develop them is nigh on impossible. The Cart and Horse problem. Governments are exceptionally good at that sort of thing. Reactors are too expensive to develop to have such a high chance of being shot down by functionaries with no experience in engineering to pump money in to the projects. It's much easier to stick with what's allowed and sell very expensive fuel forever.
