It has to be refueled - at least I learned that from the article - so what about the nuclear waste that comes out of the thing - every 5 to 7 years - where does that go..how is it handled - do you call a service technician - nuclear is not a viable alternative until we can figure out how to break down the waste and render it harmless to our water and food stream. Keep working but that this article doesn't even address the nuclear waste issue is very disappointing.

I agree with you, Paul. If we couldn't deal with plastic bags... just imagine!

With people wanting more and more teck and other electrical stuff this could be the answer to air polluting coal and gas fired power plants not to mention huge nuke plants. Also, if a large factory puts' one of these units in it will effectively be taken it off the grid demand and can also sell any extra electricity back to the local electricity providers.

As for the waste, the government has rules and regulations for handling that stuff. It would seem to me that the seller of these units would need to post a bond for the removal and disposal of the nuke waste.
