New power generator from Toshiba 200 kilowatt micro nuclear reactor

Yeah
Can't see to many places wanting these in their back yards.
"safe" or not.
cool idea though.

OK so what do you do with the spent fuel rods? Maybe Toshiba feels they have 20yrs to come up with a solution to that little problem.

Obviously they would do planning and research for that kinda stuff. Those would make your hydro bill VERY CHEAP.. If you could afford to buy one. But with the size of them, not many people are going to want them anyways, unless you dont care hat you whole back yard is taken up for a source of power. You have a bigger chance of dying from fumes from your vehicle than ya do a nuclear meltdown, just a bunch of people letting their fears lead them instead of them leading their fears.

The spent rods can be used in a cando reactor. They use low grade rods and turn them back into high, which can be reused. The problem is they never go all the way back to high grade, you have to add more each time.
There's a good old, american pass time for the hole family, changing radio active rods.

At $3.5 million not many people are going to be able to justify one for personal use.
