Good summary. I have two corrections though.
1. The device Ma pointed at is the 3rd generation IEPS (2nd gen being the Medium Voltage DC) according to a post in cjdby
, it is NOT the shaftless pump propulsion system which is right next to it with the billboard in between the IEPS. The cjdby post provided some other pictures to back its claim.
Ma clearly said in the interview "it has been used on our next generation nuclear submarine" when he pointed at the 3rd gen IEPS. So it is pretty certain that 09V and 09VI are the ones using it as at this point of time the next gen submarine can not be 09III and IV.
see this picture from the cjdby post. The red underlined device is 3rd gen. The one on its left is 2nd gen which is also shown in the interview.

2. The suspected shaftless pump propulsion device and the billboard. However, this device was not mentioned in the interview, so whether it is used or related to anything is unknown contrary to the speculation by the popsci article.
