The reactor technology is the Traveling-Wave Reactor, which uses depleted uranium.
There will be inevitable jokes about "blue screens of death", but this could be one of those technological advances that makes a real change in the world. This is the way to do it, and also to power six PC's in every home. Let's get cracking.
