RE:RE:Minature Power Plants, NASAI just thought it was interesting because there was some discussion on space travel and nuclear power. Who knows what they will come up with in 25 years, maybe less. Thanks for all the info you share Malcolm!

Only a few kilowatts though and not big enough for a commercial plant back here on earth but really interesting design. Neutron flux is very low so not much shielding needed although not 100% sure how they protect personnel from Gamme radiation. It will produce quite a bit of that I would think.
I did read an article about it. Will read a bit more about it.
