Famous last words.
What do you want to bet I can’t afford it?
I’d like to have a nuclear powered Phaser in my lifetime.

He built a homemade breeder reactor in a backyard shed. Neighbors learned of it when NEST teams in moon suits were parading through their back yards.
Ohhhhhh....OK.....If you say so.....I'll take two (and a side of fries)
Despite my VBG, I'm pro-nuclear.
We built small reactors in the early 60’s. Read about my brush with one in my FRprofile titled “Greenland”.

I Want One!
Assuming the power output remains the same over the stated lifetime, and at the per unit energy price quoted, the unit is worth $3.5 million.
Fantastic idea, especially for small remote areas (eg central Australia) currently using diesel generators. One problem - ISLAM ie Islamic nutbags opening them up and turning them into weapons.
Toshiba also sold machine tools to the Soviets during the peak of the Cold War that cost the taxpayers of this country billions in lost submarine surveillance capabilities. They were slapped on the wrist by some international court and paid a small fine, but the Soviets were able to make their submarine propellers significantly quieter and the damage was done. I’ll never knowingly purchase a Toshiba product again.
Assuming it can’t dangerously malfunction, the real question is what can people who are bent on doing harm do with it?
I want a nuclear powered car (and boat too).

This sounds great. It can produce energy for 5 cents per KWh, but does that cost include the amortization of the initial capital expense? In other words, how much does the thing cost? Any clues here?
Waiting for them to become small enough to put in my car.
I’ll take 50 lbs.....

The anti-civilization Watermelons don’t even want clean diesel. I can just imagine their “reaction” to a neighborhood reactor.
They won’t be happy till we are all in caves - and they are living high on the hog.

Twenty feet by six feet?
It’s totally flat?
Will it still work if we roll it up into a tube like we did with the old posters?
Wait, I gotta better idea! We’ll make them look like oriental throw rugs!
People actually get paid to write this stuff...
