Great. The guys who built Chernobyl, dropped 456 atomic bombs near an area with one million people and built atomic lighthouses only to abandon them engulfed in a radioactive fog are now building floating nuclear reactors on the Arctic Sea.
I have to admit, I’m finally starting to believe that Hyperion Power’s plans to install nuclear reactors in the backyards of America’s neighbourhoods is actually going to happen. In fact, after learning that they have already begun construction on the first 4,000 units I have no doubt that they will make their 2013 deadline as well. If you were wondering how much these “affordable” reactors would cost, Hyperion has put a $US25 million price tag on each unit—which breaks down to about $US2500 per household on a 10,000 home grid and it can run for five years without maintenance.
