SRNL’s Bill Bates met with Dan Yurman of Neutron Bytes to discuss the fuel cycle and backend of deploying SMRs and microreactors. Bates says talk about advanced SMRs can’t stop with deployment, rather, those talks need to include the entire fuel cycle. neutronbytes.com/2024/10/31/…

This is a good point: no responses from @tesla for 7 years to @NTSB recommendations reuters.com/business/autos-t…
Replying to @JenniferHomendy
We issued this as a recommendation to NHTSA after the same type of crash occurred in Williston, Florida, in 2016. Tesla has yet to respond to any of our recommendations from Williston, Delray, or Mountainview.
