A piece caught my eye recently,

"TerraPower (which Bill Gates co-founded, by the way) and its “Natrium” reactor designs. This will be an even safer and more efficient method than the current water-cooled reactors. The first site is currently under construction in Wyoming, supported by DOE. Mike Goff has worked on it and sounded very optimistic—mainly because the design is relatively simple and should be easy to replicate. It won’t be like the older generation where every site was different and thus more expensive. He thinks between Natrium and other new technologies, we will see a significant expansion in US nuclear capacity in this decade.

"Multiple companies are working on “modular” reactor designs, kind of like pre-fab homes, where you can literally build them in one location and install them anywhere else in the world, greatly reducing costs and construction time...."

and there's further reference in the VisCap article, link below..
