The mini-reactor might just be the key to a better future
So the Russians had a few problems with the nuclear reactors on their submarines.
But seriously now; have we, the United States, ever had a major serious problem with a nuclear reactor on a submarine or an aircraft carrier?
(Yes, maybe the sub service is so secretive that a nuclear reactor problem might have remained classified. But I don't think so. No, I think little, well-behaved nuclear reactors just work well).
And Babcock and Wilcox (not to mention Bill Gates, the Microsoft guy) apparently think so too.
Are mini-reactors the future of nuclear power?
We shall see. But count me as NOT skeptical that this might work.
