"Even though the current reactor does serve to demonstrate many key aspects of the process at scale, I do wonder why they didn't just go for an inductive heating system at the outset. Why have they spent so much time and money on a reactor, which clearly can't be scaled up?" This was the intention at the outset of the CDP (must've been 2019 or so), but their prototype failed. To fill a gap, I suppose, they went for larger version of the Kwinana pilot's externally heated reactor. COVID struck and the China debacle happened, and what a saga that ended up being.
