Just to clear things up: The EPA has not yet accepted these, but the type of device is not susceptible to melting down, blowing up, or anything else like that. The "module" you are seeing is just the reactor, and it is JUST a heat generator to make steam. You need a building to house the steam turbine required to make electricity, otherwise it's nothing other than a steam geyser :)
So, you need a turbine, which is a smallish gymnasium sized building, some cooling modules, which will be the size of a semi-truck each. It should run between 7 and 10 years between refueling, and the fuel is not sufficiently potent to be military grade and can't easily be made into military grade. The fuel is sufficiently low-grade that refueling is considered "easy" and the "waste" can be reprocesssed back into fuel. 5 year's waste is the size of a baseball. The cooling modules could be done without if you have, say, sea water or some other source of cooling. You need to condense the steam from the turbine to re-use the water. The reactor has no moving parts, and if it were dug up and exposed to air, it would simply cool off some - not burn, catch fire, or anything similar. Once you put it in the ground and put the fuel in it, it's too hot (temperature) to handle it. It could not be dug up and hauled away by someone wanting to steal it - at least not the fuel. The steam turbines are very conventional, and can be operated and serviced by conventional means. The reactor is self-limited by heat. That is, if you turn off the water, it doesn't overheat, it just slows to a stop until you cool it down by throwing water at it. The EPA has not had anything submitted to it, yet, for type acceptance. However, I've read that several of this kind of reactor are in existence and have been operated for research purposes for some time now and they are pretty much idiot-proof. The worst you can do is blow a steam pipe and leak hot steam into the building. The company is highly confident that govermental approval by the various agencies can be easily gotten once it has fully applied. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ <insert witty tagline here> ----- Original Message ----- From: "George Rogato" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "WISPA General List" <wireless@wispa.org> Sent: Sunday, November 16, 2008 5:42 PM Subject: [WISPA] Need a power supply? > http://www.hyperionpowergeneration.com/ > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > WISPA Wants You!
