I have seen this company slowly mature over my past 6 years living in Corvallis, Oregon (original location for NuScale). I was excited when I first saw the design and started to look at employment opportunities at the company. At the time, they only were looking for experienced engineers (15+ years) with knowledge of the Nuclear Regulation Commission (NRC).

Even after 6 years, they just now have submitted the application to NRC. It is depressing how much Nuclear has been over-regulated.
