On the issue of space to output that is another subject where those pimping
green have a habit of being misleading to say the least. Take for example
"100 megawatts" I would venture a guess that means peak constant running at full capacity on your link. Now go look up solar farms, they could say "100 megawatts" and that could be monthly or yearly output.

Our Department of Energy collaborated with China in 2012 on thorium reactors. Although China's will be loosely based on our abandoned Oak Ridge Laboratory design, China plans to assert "international intellectual property rights" on its reactor design.
As if China has ever respected anyone else's intellectual property rights, lol.
