It's About Time: Personal Nuclear Reactors |
Similar to those used on nuclear submarines, the Toshiba-made Micro
Nuclear Reactor is a personal power plant for your house/neighborhood.
It's 20' x 6', about 100 times smaller than a typical reactor, making
it a "fun-size" power generator -- like those little candy bars.
The 200 kilowatt Toshiba designed reactor is engineered
to be fail-safe and totally automatic and will not overheat ? The whole
process is self sustaining and can last for up to 40 years, producing
electricity for only 5 cents per kilowatt hour.
I dont' know if 5 cents per kilowatt hour is a good deal or not because
I steal electricity from my elderly neighbors, but I imagine it is
since they're bragging about it. The first unit is being installed in
Japan in 2008 and if regulation allows (read: get fucking real) they'll
be available in the U.S. in 2009. Just like the larger penis the drugs
I take promise, I don't plan on seeing this in my lifetime. Power your
home with a mini nuclear reactor. No, really. [dvice]
