TerraPower is interesting, especially since it recycles previously enriched uranium. On a side note, as far as the future of nuclear power goes, I'm more interested in LFTR designs and I think Flibe Energy is going to someone to watch here in the near future.

...or Thorcon Power. Bitcoin mining puts an interesting economic incentive on cheap energy production and chip efficiency. That and its implications always fascinated me.

I like the notion of Bi-Pb eutectic designs myself, but LFTR is much more likely in the near term.

Totally OT, but have they cracked the corrosion issues?

The last I remember hearing about it was that there is active research in a new Hastelloy-N plus Titanium alloy combo that supposedly eliminates corrosion and neutron embrittlement.
