Overall I really like the idea and concept. But I do have a couple of questions. How big a city/town will 10 megawats support? Is the price per megawat the same as with a big traditional reactor?

If the price is the same or less, that’s even better.

From the referenced paper:

A single 10 MW NB can power some 7000–8000 homes, a large shopping mall, or a midsize data center, or produce enough desalinated fresh water for over 150,000 people.
Bitcoin miners take note.
