The thought process is that if we used smaller reactors and stop designing
the damn things everytime one get's built they would be more affordable. I
have no problem with guarding the hell out of them. It would be cheaper than
the way we have done it in the pass.

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.
