If the treasury wants to get angry then they need to dig up Mr Attlee and Mrs Thatcher and have a very strong conversation because that's where the costs originated, its no good moaning at the present group of people wrestling with the national legacy issue.

How long is it going to run for, before it has to shutdown for the faulty/cracked reactor lid to be replaced?

[dan_b]

It will be replaced after the reactor's first operating cycle, so 15 to 18 months after it's actually generating and consuming fuel in meaningful quantities I guess.

No new info about how the path to actual power generation is going, but I guess no news is good news.
