This subject of servicing the generator units has bothered me a lot. How to provide uninterrupted power to communities or factories which are widely dispersed?

Solution 1: Maintain an interconnecting grid to provide power when units are down.
This strikes me as a terribly inefficient use of resources. Maintaining a grid for use only a few hours each year.

Solution 2. Have duplicate generator units at each station. Or alternatively place units where power demands dictate the placement of two or more units. Then, service them individually during off-peak hours.
Again, idle units are a waste of capital, and would be intolerable until the market is virtually saturated.

Solution 3:Mobile focus fusion unit on service truck. Drive unit to proximity of unit being serviced. Quick connect electricty and cooling. Switch on. Switch off unit being serviced. Wait 9 hours. Service other unit. Restart unit. Switch mobile unit off. Disconnect mobile unit. Drive to next unit scheduled for service. Shielding water could be kept on site, thus needn’t be transported.

Solution 4: Same as #3 except you drive off with the “hot unit” rather than wait around for it to “cool off”. Only downside to this is that you would be transporting some mildly radioactive material. On the plus side: generators could be serviced at a central location where specialized equipment could be available. Serviced unit could be ready for redeployment the following day.
