I think that these micro nuclear reactors are really cool. I’ve also read all about the other one Hyperion plans to produce soon. I’ve always argued for years that gargantuan reactors like Three Mile Island is the wrong approach. The capital outlays upfront are far too expensive and it takes too long to build them. A standardized design of mass – produced reactors rolling off an assembly line more like Detroit automobiles is a far more economic approach.

But while this may represent a great improvement in the economics of cheaper mass – produced nuclear reactors, I still have to agree with Lerner and Brian H that when focus fusion reactors begin to surpass the breakeven threshold and start producing more energy than requred to start the pB11 reaction, then it will be a whole new ballgame of nuclear economics in town. It would begin to far surpass and knock the socks off anything else out there. And Brian H is also correct in stating that many of the more closed – minded and conservative skeptics still don’t think FF is anywhere near practical yet …… that we are still chasing a moving target that keeps moving farther into the future. But when it begins to far surpass breakeven, it will definitely cause consternation and raised eyebrows. It will definitely make a lot of people out there stand – up and take notice.
