Yes, and proprietary, but without details about what or why.
The thing about nuclear which drove us to large plants in the first place is that bigger reactors have significant economies of scale. Even with big reactors, nuclear has been very expensive to build, and hasn't really come down in cost in a long time, and takes a very long time to actually build.
By contrast, wind, solar, and storage are cheap and can be deployed rapidly in small increments with much more site flexibility.
So what's going on is a false promise of future nuclear being used to prevent the deployment of renewables now.
In the US, yes. Other countries do installers competing against each other over install price, which ends up dropping cost to about 1/4 of what it is in the US.

Congress can remove a justice with a majority vote in the house and a 2/3 supermajority in the Senate. This means you can't actually remove a judge unless they lose support from within their own party, and the Republicans have shown that they wont go along with removal no matter what.
This means that in practice, the path forward is to add additional judges, so that the Republicans are a minority, and unable to do any damage.
The problem with being at the edge of town is that your whole community needs to be resistant to embers blowing in. That requires both a ton of specific mods to older structures, as well as measures like clearing zone zero.
