@Jacob The smaller size of micro nuclear reactor makes it possible to fabricate them in factory. This not only reduces construction time but also reduces first cost drastically when compared with conventional nuclear plant. A single unit of micro reactors typically generates 1 to 10 megawatts-electric. To put this in perspective, a single megawatt of electricity can power approximately 1,000 homes. That means these systems could provide up to 10,0000 homes with clean power-24 hours a day, 7 days a week-for 10 years without stopping!
As per department of energy USA. Microreactor designs vary, but most would be able to produce 1-20 megawatts of thermal energy that could be used directly as heat or converted to electric power
? The smaller size and reduced cost may provide an opportunity in related context - a possibility of safeguarding the environment*. Scientists in Russia, (A.Sakharov), and in the US, (E.Teller), once suggested building nuclear reactors underground. The plan was considered to be too expensive. The smaller size microreactor might lend itself to being built on retractable supports, over a lined underground compartment. In the event of catastrophic failure, the reactor could be dropped underground, and covered. *The hot reactor might melt the underground compartment lining, encasing, and creating a barrier with respect to the water table. *Once covered, the reactor would be more so the equivalent of an underground nuclear test, limiting damage to the atmosphere.
Need smaller... 40KW. Lets say 50KW as an ideal unit that can be confidently manufactured to fit any home case scenario. 6 for 40 000 BTU worth of AC 10 for growing facility including irrigation. 5 For ventilation and air and water filtration system faucet pumps. 5 not exceeding. For typical appliances. 6-8 For a 400kg surface lift. The rest for maintaining a 3kw battery bank when there is a lack of solar energy. Those figures are overly generous. But that is typically what a decent fallout shelter for 1-6 individuals would require. With the floor size of a typical 4 bedroom home. What are the inherent difficulties of producing and user maintenance of such a small unit?
Ballpark of initial cost? Annual cost of operation? Time able to remain in operation before refueling or maintenance? I have so many questions

@@technoworks.he gave u 3 different questions that coulda been answered and u somehow managed to make a response that ignored every single one of them
@@technoworks. How did you arrive at 1000 homes per MW of electricity? A fridge a tv and a place to charge laptops and phones?
What is the fissile material being used in the core to achieve criticality?
enriched uranium
How many kw of power are we talking about for this container sized unit.

Safety...that's why, and they can't give for one person, good for whole city. Idk maybe it's not. Gov absolutely don't have competition ...
How many of these installed & commissioned?
Under research
