What the evidence supports

That U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (Federal Register), the regulator, published the quoted statement. It records "permission issued" for Construction permits CPTR-7 and CPTR-8, two units of the Hermes 2 test reactor facility (not an operating licence) under permissions only.

What remains unknown

One permission is not every permission the project needs. Any permission beyond the action quoted. A construction authorisation is not an operating licence, and one authority's action is not another's.
