Evidence detail

Permission issued

Radioactive Materials License and Radioactive Air Emissions License for the Orion facility (state radiation licences; Helion's claim that these are the licences needed for plant operations is its own)

One permission is not every permission the project needs.

“The licenses – Radioactive Materials License (RML) and Radioactive Air Emissions License (RAEL) – mark a major milestone for the company, confirming Helion has the facilities, trained personnel, and safety programs in place at its Orion facility in Malaga, WA”
