"Xu explained that his team had based their design on an experimental reactor that had been built in Tennessee in the nineteen-sixties. Known as the Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment, or the M.S.R.E., that project hit a dead end in the early seventies, when it lost federal funding."

How America Gave China an Edge in Nuclear Power

Though the two countries are now in a race to develop atomic technology, China’s most advanced reactor was the result of collaboration with American scientists, Colin Jones writes.

Chornobyl protective structure could collapse following Russian strikes, plant director warns

Heh. This sounds so much. Right?

14.5 GWh is what a run-of-the-mill 1 GW nuclear reactor produces in 14.5 hours.

And these facilities don't produce that, they only store it, or at least most of it.

And apparently, you need »172 large-scale battery storage projects« for that.

And those apparently need $1.15 billion in subsidies (i. e. only the part the state sponsors, not total cost).
