Are "Backyard Nukes" Part of A Green Energy Solution?


Nuclear power is making a strong comeback – and gaining the support of many previous foes who have decided that they’d rather worry about how to safely process radioactive waste than try to figure out how to survive on a fatally-overheated planet. I too have reluctantly come to the conclusion that we must at least consider nuclear power for at least part of the global energy mix.

That’s why I’m especially intrigued about the so-called “backyard nuke” technology being promoted by Hyperion Power Generation. Hyperion Power has unveiled some more of the details of its compact, self-moderating 27MW mini-reactor which it hopes to mass-produce and bury at up to 4000 sites around the country. Is this really part of the path to a sustainable future or more of the same from the folks who brought us Three Mile Island?

See my editorial - http://www.techbites.com/200911161076/myblog/articles/z001d-hyperion-to-disclose-details-of-its-27mw-backyard-nuclear-plant.html for details and then add your thoughts here!
