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?
A 5MWe FF unit, which would be housed in a building about the size of a two-car garage, could be lost in one of the larger urban distribution yards 🙂
Such yards tend to combine a lot of latticework and empty space in between its massive components.
Attached find my rough idea of a “standard” 5MWe FF housing with an even rougher transformer set ready to feed to the current grid.
