The 200 kilowatt Toshiba designed reactor is engineered to be fail-safe and totally automatic and will not overheat. Famous last words.

I think this sounds pretty cool personally. It’s only a matter of time until this kind of technology changes energy as we know it and it will change again and again and again.

Toshiba bought Westinghouse Nuclear after liberal politics made it impossible to build nuclear plants.

new class of micro size Nuclear Reactors that is designed to power individual apartment buildings or city blocks. Oh great. Does that include 24/7 guard rotations or did we lose the WOT already and someone forgot to tell me?

Funny, the Navy has been cruising around for the last 50 years with out drama. The same media morons that are hyping Global Warming once hyped Three Mile Island.
I’d rather live next to this reactor than a neighbor with a Prius.
