Yep, so simple it couldn't possibly work...nor would breeder reactors. 8^\ Damn cat's out of the bag might as well put it to 'effin work. <grump> sorry guys it's an old soap box and I shouldn't be on it.

I take it you are aware then that some great small reactor designs already exist and that PFR was a complete success except for the (non nuke) steam evaporator design. The latter was eventually rectified. And Fast Reactors are not the only way to burn Pu in a fuel pellet matrix -- 'Hog CO2 - Just hot air

But there are too many uneducated Not In My BackYard types out there killing the possibility. I don't claim to be a genius or an expert...but damn even I can see it can be done safely, smartly and efficiently. |
