This seems to be significant news that I dont see a lot of commentary about: https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/china-puts-pioneering-pebble-bed-nuclear-reactor-into-operation-2021-12-20/

Are there any other Gen IV reactors connected to the grid? China claims all IP for this - they want to make a lot of these - the reactor is small and can be mass produced, China has a very large domestic market to kickstart efficient production, and supplying the Triso fuel is a good business.

Wouldn't be suprosed to see these outside of China in a few years... maybe even in Eastern Europe.
