Portable = fits in multiple 20 feet containers. I couldn’t find how many. https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/2787271/dod-releases-draft-environmental-impact-statement-for-project-pele-mobile-micro/ https://www.defense.gov/News/Releases/Release/Article/278727... calls it transportable, not portable. That seems a better word to describe that to me.
It should deliver 1 to 5 MW for at least three years of operation at full power.
- booi 4y agoI think that still counts as portable. It seems like you can unpack and spin it up in 3 days, and shut it down and pack it up for moving within 7 days. That actually seems insanely portable for what it is. But the biggest issue with nuclear reactors is more the necessary safety containment housings and safe fuel storage. What are they doing about this? Also, after you start using the fuel, even when shut down it takes active cooling for months/years. This article seems to emphasize that this will reduce waste and pollution but it doesn't say anything about safety and issues with the new type of fuel.
