Pro tip: if you want to check if a nuclear reactor design is vaporware or has real legs, you check their application with the NRC (nuclear regulatory commission). It turns out that the NRC does have a page for Kaleidos [1]. You can even go and see what documents Kaleidos submitted this month. They submitted a request to be exempted from some regulation called "10 CFR 55", which they feel is not applicable to them. I have no clue if that is the case or not, but at least they seem to be in fairly frequent contact with the NRC, and that's good news.

10 CFR 55 covers operator licenses. The regulation does allow exemptions in certain cases where licensing isn’t necessary. | ||
