You don’t sound pro-fission. This is a novel 1MW micro-reactor with major policy implications that merits public support.

Westinghouse and other large reactors have a totally different use case thank Oklo’s design for remote communities.

No, Westinghouse has designs for small reactors too.

One prob with oklo seems its amateurish funding and founding. The other is that maybe 1 mw isn’t so useful. 100mw makes a difference (with distribution), so does 50kw (without distribution.)

What is 1 mw for? An airport, maybe?
