Ignore the Engrish-this thing is amazing. It is objectively superior to all existing nuclear fission reactors in every way. It's safer,runs hotter and accordingly is more efficient, never needs to be shut down for refueling,and is far less complex and thus inherently cheaper. It can use its high-temp helium for hydrogen production and oil refining. Since it's a modular system it's inherently flexible and lets one design be used across large and small scale projects.
We are so god damned behind on this tech and it drives me nuts. The Chinese are building it up like crazy-they've tripled nuclear energy in the last 15 years. And now they have this. It's getting to the point where if we can't get fusion working or fix our rotten and backwards fission industry the Chinese are going to dominate us in the energy sector. If they strt exporting this thing they'll be able to gain a ton more power and prestige in various nations and continue in their efforts at full energy independence.
