I'm not too sure if I missed it, but what's the budget for this?
Edit: Looks like the answer is $1.68 Billion
Idaho! That's where the first 3 people died from a nuke explosion!

I got to peek inside the decommissioned SL1 building where a fatal reactor incident happened. They still scoop up bits of fuel from ant mounds in the vicinity because the fuel pellets happen to be the size of particles ants prefer in their mounds. Did a few seasons of ecological surveys on the INL and it is a wacky place.
wacky place
Not surprised! Would like to learn more about what's become of it.
The INL itself is still an active nuclear research facility. The SL-1 building is just a big sheet metal shed, mostly empty now and far away from any current activity, except sheep grazing.
INL was founded as a peacetime ’sister’ to Hanford, where weapons-grade material is made. For instance, there is a surgical suite with an active reactor for boron-neutron capture therapy of certain cancers. In one form of that therapy, they remove the top of the skull and expose the brain directly to the neutron source.
Yeah, it’s a wild place.
...I really don't know what to do with this information.

The article that you linked doesn't even speak of there being a "nuke explosion" nor deaths, injuries, casualties, etc., etc.
~~Are you implying that modern nuclear reactors are unsafe? Or perhaps, how far we've come with nuclear reactor procedures, technologies and safety messures, from back in Or perhaps, you're sharing a tidbit and an article that relates only in the fact that they both happened in Idaho. Or perhaps, you're trying to stir up trouble.~~
Most people who've studied the history of nuclear energy at all know about it. While it's seldom talked about (like most of the other accidents kept out of the news) SL-1's not hard to learn more about, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SL-1#Accident_and_response
The article is about EBR-1. The steam explosion was at SL-1
