I've seen a lot of people latch on to this writeup as authoritative, and I'm not sure why. Oehmen may indeed be a "research scientist" at MIT but his specialty is supply-chain risk management, not reactor design (http://web.mit.edu/oehmen/www/). Is there any reason to believe that he's anything more than an interested amateur on this topic?
