I don't know why they haven't switched to molten salt everywhere, from what i've read it's by far the safest method

Because those salts are usually highly corrosive material which is utter pain to work with. Its pretty much safe in terms of nuclear, but from point of actually making a reactor that last 60 years... well we know how to deal with water on this scale.

Hopefully it has more promise than wind and solar. We do have an awful lot of salt at our disposal in the world so at least they're capitalizing on that finally.

It's not necessary though, the existing tech is fine. There's just an unwillingness to build it, which won't be fixed by new designs.

Sadly those small reactors have been already envisioned in 1960s... it did not really work out. Since they share about same requirements on site and administration as the big ones. so they eneded up on nuclear subs and ships... where soldiers dont care about the price.

I prefer the Thorium kind but if the end result is the same then why not. Here's quite the illuminating talk to debunk any fears about nuclear energy.https://youtu.be/ciStnd9Y2ak
