"A stated goal in the article is also to build small-scale fusion reactors, which would reduce transmission costs."
aka enable them to be installed on submarines and so on.
- pfdietz 7y agoThe power density of even these putative "small" reactors would still be grossly inferior to fission reactors. So using them in space limited applications like subs would make no sense at all.
- catalogia 7y agoAnd even if the reactors were small enough, there is no guarantee they'd be quiet enough.
