I understand their reluctance to to give out anything regarding the design of the new reactor, but "in an advanced stage" tells us nothing about its readiness. I was hoping for detail regarding the refractory lining because I work with castable refractory and moulds on a daily basis. My understanding is that is it requires a specific diameter and thickness of casting(s) to be fabricated. This would mean design and fabrication of mould(s) to then create a casting(s), once cured to be inserted into the reactor shell then carefully fired to (and beyond) service temperature.This is a specialized field, but is part of what attracted me to the tech. 900C is a relatively low temp and sacrificial refractory castings would have far greater longevity at these low service temperatures. I just feel they could have given out more detail regarding the progress and readiness of the heart of the system.

What if we offered to sign an NDA with Hazer, like the 40+ potential partners have? They'd probably tell us to get lost...
