Slap-dash, fly-by-night startup SMRs without the same procedural and security rigor of existing plants coming soon to "sacrifice zone" backyards near you.

Since you're in industry, any thoughts on the Rellis "test bench" at Texas A&M?
"SMR Four" Consortium:
In early 2025, Texas A&M selected four other major SMR companies to deploy reactors at RELLIS:
Kairos Power: Developing fluoride salt-cooled high-temperature reactors.
Natura Resources: Working on liquid-fueled molten salt reactors (MSRs).
Aalo Atomics: Focused on factory-fabricated microreactors (the "Aalo-1").
Terrestrial Energy: Developing the Integral Molten Salt Reactor (IMSR).
