The reactors will go for about $25 million a pop, and power more than 10,000 homes (plus all their infrastructure requirements, like town halls and fire stations) for up to 10 years without refueling.
wow thats cheap. like $20 bucks a month for electric?

is there any way to find out what big electric companies pay to make nuclear energy? because if its anything like 20 bucks a month/household, I am totally getting ripped off.

Under the current political climate, it'll never happen. The earthpigs and their OPEC sponsors will fight these power plants by any means necessary.

the article was very interesting. made me think of uses in central and south america. like some of the large farming operations in Brazil, or use in remote mining locales.

Default very interesting

Excellent article, but why do I always have the urge to read the comments that can be posted after the article. Most were positive, but some of the remarks that come out of peoples fingertips as they type simply numbs me.
10 years of use, and the waste material is the size of a football. I would like to see the carbon footprint of this reactor compared to lets say, equal energy output from battery powered autos to the tune of 10 years.

Nuclear is a very clean energy, the only carbon emission comes from mining the uranium which a nuclear plant uses remarkably little. A gigawatt nuclear plant will use about a ton of fuel per year. That's less fuel by mass than a single truck.
