Off-Grid Personal Nuke Reactor
Off Grid story from March 22 (again, not an April Fool’s Day joke) about personal nuclear reactors.
Think I’m lying? How about this Gizmodo story?
Stephen Years quotes a Santa Fe Reporter article about Los Alamos based Hyperion’s planned product.
The portable nuclear reactor is the size of a hot tub. It’s shaped like a sake cup, filled with a uranium hydride core and surrounded by a hydrogen atmosphere. Encase it in concrete, truck it to a site, bury it underground, hook it up to a steam turbine and, voila, one would generate enough electricity to power a 25,000-home community for at least five years.
I’m sure nobody will have a problem with a nuke in your basement. Mmm. Uranium hydride. Ahhh.
Who needs April Fool’s Day hoaxes when real news is this weird?
