The Guardian UK notes that a company has been licensed by the US government to produce miniature nuclear power plants smaller than a “shed” that can power 20,000 homes for very reasonable prices. This was a process developed at Los Almos and licensed to the company.
If feasible (deployment is expected within 5 years possibly!) this could provide power to people without linking them to the grid which, in an emergency or warfare involving electro magnetic pulse weaponry could see power flow disruption.
They only need to be refueled every 7 to 10 years and the cost per home to install the service is as low as $2500.
But will it be used in the US?
Read it and let us know what you think…
Imagine, a community of 10,000 homes could buy this for $250 each and be electrically self sufficient and therefore independent from the “outside” in many ways!
Amazing!
