You will find that the internal heater will be the single point of failure that can cause a 2.5 kw module to fail and not fuel fatigue. High pressure hot hydrogen will reek havoc with the high temperature heater element and erode the element metal quickly. The heater is the weak spot in the Rossi d

It depends on the kind of reactor you consider. In a CANDU heavy water reactor, the nuclear fuel can be replaced on-the-fly. This is a big advantage that the CANDU’s have over the light water nuclear reactor designs which in my opinion are very poor. On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 6:09 PM, Jed Rothwe

Jed, hot swapping can be done. I am certain that utilities will not buy a Lenr reactor or any other type of reactor for that matter that must be totally replaced in just 6 month. If the 2.5 kw unit can only run for 6 months, then having 50 replacement sockets won’t matter, since after 6 months a

The MeV reactor needs years of development. For example, the 2.5 kw module should be encapsulated in a tube that is replaceable on-the-fly to maximize reactor availability. With all those hundreds of modules, unless this is done, the reactor will be down for maintenance about 90% of the time.
