Source: USA built advanced reactor Higher temperature improves efficiency Air cooled to avoid heating water sources Fossil fuels need not apply Yes, it was a 'dog and pony' show but the first SpaceX rockets were too. Then they got better. A clever exploit of the current administration to kick start nuclear. Too often, the NRC has been 'the dog in the manger.' Tis an ill wind that blows no good. Bob Wilson
ha - a 100kw power source. roughly the amount of power 2 or 3 modern homes might potentially be able to draw. In the same vein as people ask about EVs, I wonder how long it'll take to reach the payback.
Higher temperature for efficiency and gas cooled, I’m less worried about the size of this demo as much as Jones’ng for something other than light water, pressure reactors. Bob Wilson
