This is hilarious.

Also note the possible veto from advocacy groups who oppose reopening already closed reactors. Say whatever you want about these people but I think they know more about the intricacies of nuclear power plant regulation than some johnny-come-lately startup bro with ideas of stuffing a reactor into a container.
