Is Wyoming really going to be the first state with a molten salt reactor? Whodathunkit??

I love that Wymoing brings good news in these times.

How can you possibly say "Nothing has changed"? Material Science has come so far in the last 5 years, let alone the past 30 years, that I'm certain the problems experienced by other efforts will be quickly addressed

Now whether or not that means this design will be immediately commercially viable is an entirely different issue, but we can't advance forward without doing research to find out.

That's not what I said. I said there have been no fundamental breakthroughs that would indicate things will go different this time.
