Good points, Matt. I can help with the research, editing, and writing. Looks like most of it would be the “more information” series of flash cards. Any plan for cheap power can be assessed by asking only 3 questions:
1. Is a steam cycle required?
2. Is the nuclear reaction aneutronic?
3. Are external electromagnets required?
#1 knocks out fission, D-D, and D-T along with the single most expensive set of parts.
#2 knocks out radioactive fuel, waste proliferation and disposal issues.
#3 trades scalability against very expensive cryogenic magnets.
Thus not much writing needs to be done that I can see at the moment. While the obvious choice is the elegant design, it will be adopted along with competing fission and fusion designs. Let’s see how many billionaires these $1M investments can make, and Twitter the current Power Baron’s high score.
