Hopefully the testing period works out well and it becomes viable to scale.

I've been thinking we should be doing something like this up North. Nuclear energy and basically free/inexpensive energy for people in Yukon, NWT and Nunavut by running it regularly. Parallel it to what's going on in the Fort Mac area and use the excess for extraction/refining. If something happens, it's out there away from the large populations.
I've wanted the same for geothermal as well, but IIRC, the issue is the transmission of the power to where it can be used. The cost for that is too high.
