Toshiba Has just developed a Micro Nuclear Reactor which is about 100x smaller than normal reactors we've seen. This reactor Is designed to be 20 feet by 2 feet. So This could mean a whole new era for remote communities, middle sized o large companies and normal communities.
The 200 kilowatt reactor is fully automatic and will never over heat and is designed to be fail safe. The new revolutionary technology uses reservoirs of liquid lithium-6, an isotope that is effective at absorbing neutrons.
Toshiba expects to install the first reactor in Japan in 2008 and to begin marketing the new system in Europe and America in 2009.
