Not that I’d ever support throwing your work-life balance into the meatgrinder like that, but if I had a job trying to create one of the best potential options for long-term power production while the world was setting itself on fire from fossil fuels I might consider 50 hour work weeks for a bit too.
create one of the best potential options for long-term power production
I disagree about this (you don’t solve the substantive short and medium term problems of nuclear) but even if it was a wonder technology that was cheaper, faster to deploy and simpler than anything else, having a 30 year timeframe to mass commercial roll out means it won’t really make a difference

Yep. I’d do it in a heartbeat. These folks are heroes.

That said, if anyone could make a cheap thorium SMR that could be mass produced, it’ll be China
