Oh lots, but the basic thing is that it goes wrong where its not going to do any harm, Just sink the thing :-) In deep water fish ALREADY glow in the dark! The bit I liked the most is the utter self contained nature. So much seawater you can use passive cooling, and it probably wouldn't have a grid connection at AC at a;ll, just feed a big DC line. So if the grid goes its still got enough power to run itself. And even if it hasn't, with passive cooling it just shuts down. Hard to reach esp. by greenpeace and other terrorists, and what could they do anyway? cause alarm and panic 20 miles out to sea? Modular built and towed into place, so cheap. No planning permission of the local variety. Store spent fuel rods in seawater ponds, or make fresh water by desalination using waste heat. .. -- Ineptocracy (in-ep-toc-ra-cy) €“ a system of government where the least capable to lead are elected by the least capable of producing, and where the members of society least likely to sustain themselves or succeed, are rewarded with goods and services paid for by the confiscated wealth of a diminishing number of producers. |

they do anyway? I thought the US Cole showed terrorists don't all fear boats. And I'm sure they could hire some Somali pirates to help out. Can't they then blow up the reactor when the wind is on-shore? Even if they don't release much nasty stuff they'd get the panic. -- Robin reply to address is (meant to be) valid |

So, I suggested ages ago that the Submarines Nuclear reactors could be
repurposed offshore to be used for power generation. Nobody took me seriously.

Hmm, just think you could set up a pirate radio station on it to make extra
money.

... ..an interesting concept.. http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/NN...t-1604141.html Given a long enough flex, it could be towed where the need for power was at a particular time and 'plugged in' to the local grid :) Mind you it could be hijacked or stolen in the same way ! Andrew |
