It could practically run on spent nuclear fuel from conventional powerstations, as well as with very little enriched uranium ore. Some deposits of uranium also contain ore which could be used straight ahead. This reactor would also guarantee peaceful use of nuclear fuels and reduce political implications from running enrichment plants such as the case with Iran and the USA. Could someone open-source this technology?

I do agree that implementation needs to be extremely careful, but whether it's nuclear waste that has to be contained or carbon dioxide that's causing the green house effect, every power source has its pros and cons. But research has to go forth in all areas including nuclear and where the right nuclear technology makes sense it should be used. Compared to everything but solar and hydro (which have their own severely limiting considerations) nuclear's per pound efficiency is too high to ignore.

Much of our power is lost in transmission lines so if you can make smaller reactors that are safer and located in each suburb you reduce this loss. You also cluster these reactors on the grid in such a way that it makes our power systems more tolerant to failures and any kind of malicious attacks be it cyber-terrorism or physical attacks of terror.

Guess what? I can pay for it. I found the cure for crime, the cure for drug addiction, and even a cure for sexual perversion. These are all related ecologically, these three compulsions. Here it is and any dope can do it right now with three five piece packs of Wrigley's chewing gum: 150 mg of healthy adult male facial skin surface lipid pheromone. The pheromone is generally passed in kissing (kids kissing their father on his face). It is essentially the chemical device to provide one with 'unconditional paternal love and approval'. The stereochemistry of the many strange components (some known to be pheromones in other species yet!) strongly suggests that these seven hundred or so puppies communicate. One of them, sebaleic acid, is found nowhere else in nature and marks each of us as human. Neat huh? Wait till you see your first crack prostitute emerge, find a nice husband, and have a baby. They'll name it after you! It's great! This is great. Guess what? I can pay for it. I found the cure for crime, the cure for drug addiction, and even a cure for sexual perversion.
