Summary
Kairos Power got the green light to take more time building their Hermes test reactor in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The deadline to finish construction moved from the end of 2026 to April 30, 2029, giving them extra breathing room. This change helps Kairos keep their project on track without rushing, but it means the wait for this cool new reactor just got a bit longer.
