Nuclear power plants

It is possible to order ' portable ' nuclear power plants, with a capacity of 25-27 megawatts, 1kw at 10 US cents. That is Hyperion Power Module, a new product of safe and highly practical oven of Hyperion Power Generation, priced at 25 million USD.

Mini nuclear power plant

That new, unique product, recently, was awarded the ' Notable Technology Develoment Awer ' by the US Federal Laboratory of Technology Transfer (FLC).

According to the designers, with the fuel of poor uranium, 25-27 megawatts, this mini power plant is enough for 20,000 households (2-3 people per household) or a medium-sized industrial factory at selling prices. 1kw power hour power is 10 cents US dollars.

John Deal, Executive Director of Hyperion Power Generation, said: The price of this nuclear reactor is about $ 25 million. If a community of 10,000 households, each household only needs to pay 2,500 USD to buy an extra nuclear power plant for the whole community.

In the first phase, Hyperion Power Generation received an order to sell 100 Hyperion modules for oil and energy production complexes.

Production of Hyperion modules started in 5 years. The first version will be exported to Romania for sale to one of the enterprises of TES (Secbia). The company bought six kilns as soon as they were on the drawing and planned to buy another 12. Panama, Bagama countries . are also interested in this product.

In the future, Hyperion Power Generation plans to open three more Hyperion modules in the world, increasing its capacity to 4,000 units for the 2013-2023 period,

The advantages of these nuclear kilns are: Firstly, with small capacity, they are suitable for small and isolated residential areas in remote areas. Secondly, the short construction period (conventional nuclear power plants must be built in 10 years, also with the Hyperion module, after being assembled at the manufacturing plants, only transport to install at location of use). Third, low cost and simple structure.

Small nuclear reactors are not new. They have long been installed on submarines, aircraft carriers and nuclear icebreakers. But it is a story about national material means, and Hyperion is a story about a private nuclear power plant that any rich residential area can buy and install for themselves, if that is not contrary to the current law of the host country.

About the safety of the hyperion modum

According to design experts, Hyprion is a completely self-regulating system, which gives itself the internal security itself by default. The authors of the present invention claim that the Hyperion nuclear reactor never falls into a critical and molten state, even if someone intentionally breaks down the outer shell (usually buried below). soil) the very small volume of active radioactive substances in the furnace will quickly cool down, not endangering the surrounding environment. It is also important that the fuel of the furnace cannot be used to make nuclear weapons.

There are no moving parts in the main module of the reactor, which contributes to the reliability of the furnace. This mini nuclear power plant does not need maintenance for months, even years. It automatically adjusts the output power according to the current capacity on the grid. In terms of time, one fuel refueling (according to different data) operates for 5 to 10 years. Nuclear waste is obtained after an operation cycle is only half the size of a soccer ball (approximately equal to a grapefruit).

The father of this excellent invention is Dr. Otis ' Pete ' Peterson, currently working at the Los Alamos National Laboratory (Los Alamos National Laboratory). For decades, Dr. Otis Peterson not only received numerous awards in the nuclear field, but also in the laser field.
