The UK's Small Modular Reactor Competition "The UK government has launched a competition to select a design of a small modular reactor (SMR) for future deployment in the UK. The idea behind SMRs is that they can be factory built and stamped out like aircraft and transported to location on the back of a truck. With thirty-three companies / designs on the shortlist, this looks like the process could take a while to complete" http://euanmearns.com/the-uks-small-...r-competition/ An interesting read. The idea of lots of small reactors distributed widely is appealing. It gives redundancy, means that spares for only one type of reactor needs to be held, and training is simplified. And more chances of a cock up. More sources of radio active material for terrorist dirty bomb. I knew it was you who wrote the even before i looked see who had;!.... How sadly predictable(... Well yes. Of course te reactors are generally 'sealed fir life' so its pretty hard to actually get he material out without some pretty specialised kit, and you would either have to do that onsite, or steal the whole 1000 tonne reactor.... And if you start dismantling a scrammed reactor, you have better be quick or very protected, cos the gamma is gonna fry you in an hour Perhaps harry, with all his nuclear expertise, can explain how to get radioactive stuff out (without killing yourself, that is). Of course he can, you use disposable immigrants and keep well away yourself. |
