They took the time out of their schedule to provide some details on the current state of the design of the Hyperion Power Module. We were able to delve into some significant detail on the fuel, the coolant system, the reactivity control system, the coolant temperatures, and the steam conditions. We talked a bit about the target markets, the licensing strategy, and the potential for a more instrumented prototype that will enable the company to demonstrate its safety and operating concepts.
