The issue of what local power companies and cites allow for power generation is a part of this question. In Minnesota, generation of more than 5 MW of electricity requires public hearings and a great deal of red tape. How do you tap into the system without a distribution station nearby? Do you incorporate it into the reactor building?

Taping into a local access point for distributed electricity also brings up questions. If a 4.99 MW reactor provide power to 1500 homes in a town of 10,000 homes you may need to have those reactors in neighborhoods. A positive campaign of community education would be needed to convince people of the safe operation of aneutronic reactors. And, there is always the possibility of misinformation campaigns by those who do not like competition.
