For all (or most) of the other images on that site, I

Jones,
If this is a nuclear reactor, the radiation would be too dangerous to
make this practical. Even if it were buried deep enough to stop the
radiation, it could not be safely dug up after 5 years. Besides, no
sane person would want a nuclear reactor buried near them.
The chemical reacti
Is the so-called "battery" reactor "chemical" or
otherwise ? this is an interesting question.
If the fuel is depleted Uranium, and there is a lot of
that stuff around, then the operation could be related
to recycling reactants - using both the heat and gamma
flux from radioactive decay to reduce

I do not see how it could be chemical if the assertion
that it will run 24/7 for *5 years* before refueling
is true.
If the U is natural, that much of it (with water as a
moderator) would certainly go critic

It is shown in other graphs.
