Certainly the price needs to be proven, but these things aren't completely new; anything but - the basic approach is positively ancient for a nuclear technology, although presumably there are sufficient cunning new bits to warrant their patent.

The question becomes whether Hyperion (and any other licensees) can meet the volume/timescale ramp up they are talking about in the press release and still hit their price point. Another advantage small unit size of each battery module confers is that this claim can be empirically tested with the sort budgets and time horizons that conventional corporate organisations are comfortable working - rather than requiring a govt get involved and take a multi-decade punt on the technology working out.
