I wondered what had hapened about this reactor technology and up pops this news story that seems to confirm that it's still ongoing. One of my concerns is addressed in the article: "The reactor's supporters also argue that the technology is secure from proliferation. The low-enriched uranium fuel consists of half-millimetre-sized particles of uranium dioxide encased in graphite and silicon carbide, which in turn is encased in a graphite ball. Experts say it is expensive and difficult to process such spent fuel."
