What the evidence supports

That Kairos Power (newsletter), the project's developer, published the quoted statement. It records "design disclosed" for Redesign: one 50 MWe reactor in place of the original two-unit plant under technical milestones only.

What remains unknown

A disclosed design is not a tested one. Performance at commercial scale, sustained output or independent confirmation, unless the quoted passage states them.
