This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
As much as I dislike Bill Gates, I hope that this project finds success. With that said however, they're going against Rolls Royce, GE, and Hitachi, which are probably more trustworthy for the government than a relatively new startup
Rolls Royce, GE, and Hitachi are more likely to succeed, but they're doing little to innovate beyond light water reactors. Even among LWRs, NuScale has a more interesting design because it contains enough water to shut down without human intervention.
It's good that some startups are trying to improve long-tail safety, because the probability of failure increases with the number of reactors in the world.
Idk about you but in a world where collapse is a distinct possibility, I'd rather not have a bunch of nuclear facilities just hanging around.
