New reactor technology

This one looks amazing… “Portable”, no melt downs, and safe cooling methods. It looks to be a great way to bring power to very remote areas without the need for periodic diesel fuel deliveries and without the space or batteries required to do a solar installation.

This is something that would be necessary for longer deployments to places like Mars or a larger, permanent space station.

Five year lifespan with planned four fuel core replacements give it a life of 25 years.
