Thanks for saying so. I'd say the writeup is more informative than the Science Friday piece, honestly.
There are a few good modern reports about using his kind of idea for making ammonia and hydrogen, but nothing too serious is going on outside of Russia and China on this topic.
Most of the people talking about it in advanced reactor space are using very low readiness reactors rather than PWRs, which led me to make this extremely fringe starwars prequel meme: [2].
The Koreans have the PWRs and the ship industry in place, they'd be the best to make this happen again. But so far they've just done a few small MOUs here and there. Again, nothing too serious is happening from what I can tell. I'd be happy to be wrong.
