Solution to Our Energy Needs: Nukes Planted in Every Neighborhood!
I'm sure the people planning this ONLY have the best of intentions:
Nuclear power plants smaller than a garden shed and able to power 20,000 homes will be on sale within five years, say scientists at Los Alamos, the US government laboratory which developed the first atomic bomb.Seriously, this is some creepy shit.

What do you believe is creepy about it?
"The miniature reactors will be factory-sealed, contain no weapons-grade material, have no moving parts and will be nearly impossible to steal because they will be encased in concrete and buried underground."
"factory sealed" ha ha!
at least for the first 7 years until it has to be unsealed to be refilled or recharged or whatever.
ha ha!
For those folks who haven't had a chance to read the article, here's a bit more:
"The reactors, only a few metres in diameter, will be delivered on the back of a lorry to be buried underground. They must be refuelled every 7 to 10 years. Because the reactor is based on a 50-year-old design that has proved safe for students to use, few countries are expected to object to plants on their territory. An application to build the plants will be submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission next year.
You could never have a Chernobyl-type event - there are no moving parts,' said Deal. 'You would need nation-state resources in order to enrich our uranium. Temperature-wise it's too hot to handle. It would be like stealing a barbecue with your bare hands."
No need to be paranoid about this,
but those people banging on the front door - what do they have in those medical kits - and are they coming to take you away? Oy.
you should demand one for your yard!
I should be so lucky!
Actually, from what I've read, my neighborhood
WILL get one. Hopefully, soon.
