And what is the timeline for commercial deployments? And what is the timeline for commercial deployments at a scale that might make a significant contribution to overall energy generation? And how realistic are those timelines after decades of delays?

The first module is expected to be operational by 2029 with full plant operation the following year.

Uh huh. Let's see how that goes. And even if they do succeed with that. It'll still be decades until these things can make a significant contribution. Which was my point all along.
