Right, some other documents I found indicated that there would be a research reactor scheduled for 2020. But the documents I found about it were from before 2018. I couldn't understand why this story was published in August 2018. There doesn't appear to be anything new happening right now. The next interesting development will be when the research reactor actually starts up, hopefully in 2020.
