He obviously wants to show that his reaction is nuclear by the tritium production. Let's hope that the amount generated is not going to be an issue for regulators.

It seems to me that what you don;t want to do is design a reactor that produces tritium. Tritium production is a nonstarter in the reactor business. The NRC will shut down any reactor that produces tritium even in the smallest amounts. What is Godes thinking here?

Jed, did you not understand the business plan explained here? Yes, I think I understand it better than Godes does. He says he "does not want to produce things" yet he spends millions of his investor's dollars producing things! If this is really his strategy, then he should make a device that produces heat around 100 to 1000 W. He should make it as reliable as he can, with the best power density. He should demonstrate it is real. Everything after that should be left to his customers, which should be industrial corporations. When it comes to engineering a 104 kW heat source or a generator, they have immeasurably more experience and expertise that he does. Plus they probably would not like to see him compete with them. - Jed
