Toshiba Builds Ultra-Small Nuclear Reactor

DeusExCalamus writes "Toshiba has developed a new class of micro size Nuclear Reactors that is designed to power individual apartment buildings or city blocks. The new reactor, which is only 20 feet by 6 feet, could change everything for small remote communities, small businesses or even a group of neighbors who are fed up with the power companies and want more control over their energy needs."

Wait till you try to buy uranium to fuel it, and you get labelled a "terrorist threat seeking to buy yellowcake", and then they shock and awe your block with the 101'st airbor... no wait, they're still "freeing Iraq", guess they'll schock and awe you with the SWAT team.
