Look up 'HTGR.'

Very modest little plants that don't even need an operator. I think
Gulf (General Atomics) holds the patents. We ran one for 15 years in
Colorado When the working fluid is helium there's nothing to become
irradiated. This 'packaged power' philosophy is probably the way the
Chinese will go.
