Jay, re: A 10MW pebble bed reactor has been in operation in the middle of Beijing on Tsinghua University campus since 2003. My first real job in 1968 was in the Chemical Technology Division at Oak Ridge National Labs where we developed the processes for coating uranium and thorium particles for use in various nuclear demonstration projects. I had two important takeaways from that experience: (1) I would always be second rate compared to the real geniuses attracted to the national labs, therefore a redirection of my career. (2) Many of the nuclear demonstration projects work admirably on a demonstration scale, but run into major challenges as one attempts to scale up to a commercial scale. I hope the Chinese are able to perfect the pebble bed reactor as it offers many advantages. However, I will reserve my judgement until they demonstrate than can scale that 10MW reactor up to 1,000MW-1,200MW commercial scale without major issues. David
