More specifically the one about a nuke in every home, or something like that.

That is both incredibly impressive and incredibly scary at the same time....

The future of energy lies in capacitors man.  Capacitors.

I estimate that the time it will take for something to go catastrophically wrong, either intentionally or as a result of user stupidity, will be measured in miliseconds. If people can't be trusted with, say, knives, I hardly think that mini nuclear reactors are a good idea.

[Bobboau]

"Toshiba expects to install the first reactor in Japan"

good luck selling that.

[neo_hermes]

edit: ok i wonder what would happen if you put the worlds smallest linux computer with this mini- reactor..hmmm

[jr2]

Hmm.. power source for spaceships, anyone?

[Nuke]

cool, i bet the terrorists will buy a bunch of these

[Shade]

I'm still waiting around for the real micro nuclear reactors, the kind they have in the foundation books. I need nuclear power for my cordless mouse so I never have to charge the batteries

[Admiral_Stones]

Hmm, reminds me of Fallout 1 & 2. These were great games.

Shade, your quite medieval, Fallout had microfusioncells

[Dark RevenantX]

Wonder what the price tag is.  Starting at $250,000, perhaps?

Edit: Holy God that Clive Barker's Jericho ad lags my computer more than anything else I've ever seen.

In case anyone hasn't noticed, THESE ARE FOR ENTIRE CITY BLOCK NOT FOR PERSONAL USE.

[Admiral_Stones]

Pfff. If I would install it into my chamber, our fuse wouldn't blow up every time the dishwasher and water boiler are turned on

[TrashMan]

What's next? Nuclear powered cars?

Oy, can't wait for the next car crash. IT would be a BLAST!

[jr2]

Heh... it's the NIMBY syndrome.  Real nuclear power plants aren't dangerous unless you're really, really stupid with them, with a few design flaws thrown in (read: Chernobyl) or really, really, unlucky, with a few design flaws thrown in (read: Three Mile Island).

[BengalTiger]

But you're never sure if there is a design flaw untill it's too late to matter it was there.

[Dark RevenantX]

These reactors are small enough that you could probably outrun the radiation's lethal range.

[Mefustae]

These reactors are small enough that you could probably outrun the radiation's lethal range.

"The reactor is melting down!! Walk for your lives!!!"

Chernobyl is about as stupid as you can get with a nuclear reactor. Everyone involved would have gotten Darwin Awards if it weren't for the fact that innocent people can't be injured or the entry is disqualified.
