Small Scale Nukes

I like the sound of this technology. It's a nuclear power plant that is sealed, requires little maintenance, and can't go critical like the standard design. Toshiba is offering to build the plant in Alaska for free to supply power to a remote area (which currently has to import diesel for its generators). The biggest hurdle will be getting regulatory approval, which they estimate could cost as much as $600 million. However, if they can get approval, future copies of the reactor could be built for $20 million each and delivered to remote locations.
