Green Technology

Toshiba is working on a small sized nuclear reactor that can be situated where needed ... it is designed to use liquid sodium for coolant (not water) resulting in higher efficiencies.  

One problem with our energy infrastructure is that the power transmission system is often not able to handle extra power .. this allows the source to be situated near the demand ... cutting back load on the infrastructure.

 Dubbed 4S "... Super-safe, Small, and Simple ... a new class of micro size Nuclear Reactors that are designed to power large apartment buildings or small city sections. ... only 20 feet by 6 feet, could change everything for small remote communities, businesses or even a group of neighbors who are fed up with the power companies and want more control over their energy needs."

" ... 10 MW Toshiba-designed reactor is engineered to be fail-safe and totally automatic ... whole process is self sustaining and can last for up to 30 years without refueling, producing electricity for only 5 cents per kilowatt hour, about half the cost of grid energy. ... expects to commercialize the reactor after the mid 2010's."
