With the potential benefits of the technology, I don't see why someone wouldn't take serious interest in advancing that effort despite the hurdles you've outlined above... they all seem relatively surmountable given the prize at the end of the road, no?
Oh it is certainly achievable but trying to line up all the hurdles (national labs, affiliated center, the DOE etc) so you can jump them will take far more time than it ought to. Navigating the DOE and NRC quagmires are not fun.
