Is there a theoretical minimum size for a nuclear reactor (based on current or viable near-future technology)? If so, what kind of dimensions are we talking?

- satanspastaroll 7y agoI'd imagine the limit being how densely you can packrods together and sufficiently cool them. What I'd be much more interested in is what's the _minimum_ size they can be made in safe and relatively efficiently
- amelius 7y agoI guess the problem is mostly weight, which you need to shield the thing off from its environment.
