It's still 2 or 3 decades in the future. What they're building isn't a power plant, but a proof of concept. There's a lot of heat generated, which would be used to drive steam turbines, when it becomes commercial. The date predicted for a feasible system is usually circa 2050.Interesting. They did not say, or I didn't hear, how it would produce electricity for use. This design just seems too complicated to ever be commercially feasible.The key to energy development in the future is fusion. ITER - the way to new energy
ITER- The world's largest puzzle
Compared to what is shown in the video conventional nuclear power is very simple. Can you imagine the cost of what they are building? It can't be built for commercial reasons it has to be something else, maybe just to say they can do it.
