It seems to me that this
"In August 2022, the Chinese Ministry of Ecology and Environment informed the Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics (SINAP) that its commissioning plan for the LF1 had been approved.[9] " entry is about something that happened 2018, even if the article is dated 2022.
For surely the commissioning must have happened before it was built last year.

It's new development (from the perspective of trying to scale-up a 2MW reactor),[a] the regulators are trying to settle on a canonical sequence of approvals; the Chinese began their development effort in 2011 at
Oak Ridge National Lab (based on
MSRE).[b] The Chinese gathered as much IP as they could, with parallel streams of development using staffs of hundreds in a horse-race of possible technologies.[c] One path was at Wuwei (near the Gobi desert), only one of one hundred reactors in China. The Thorium-based path was finally given China's legal approval to scale up as an electrical utility in 2022.[1] The
TMSR-LF1 is now cleared for scaling up.[1] Indonesia's
TMSR-500 is a similar Thorium-based project,[d] with legal approval by Indonesia's regulatory agency in 2022 as well. Both projects (China and Indonesia) have long histories.[e] --
