A new type of corrosion or wear is discovered in the cooling system of molten salt reactors.
If cooling issues emerge, the development timeline stretches out, leading to increased costs and delays in deployment of molten salt reactors, which reduces investment appeal.
0.23 The new cooling issue scenario introduces significant technical challenges for molten salt reactor companies like IMSR, SMR, and OKLO, leading to delays and increased costs but does not severely impact the broader basket holdings significantly.
The discovery of a new type of corrosion or wear could delay construction and increase costs for companies like IMSR, SMR, and OKLO. This would impact CEG, LEU, and CCJ through reduced demand if MSR adoption is delayed.
