Oh yea, in this day and age, I'm sure the government is gonna just love anyone having access to nuclear material to run their private reactors.

Cost? Let's see, they say 200 Kw, and will last 40 years, and cost $0.05/Kwh, that would be 200 Kw x 24 hrs/day x 365 day/year x 40 years x $0.05 = $3,504,000.00

I think I'll stick with RE, thanks! :o)

Good one Rod. It just goes to show - Do The Math. $0.05/kwh sounds good on the surface but.........
