HYPERION POWER NUCLEAR MODULE


The American company Hyperion, has just built a nuclear power prototype (Hyperion Power Module), valued at $ 25 million, offered to anyone wishing to acquire it. The module is capable of providing electricity to 20 000 homes, featuring an output of 25 MW. Hyperion use low-enriched uranium 238, running 5 years without recharging. The predictable robbery of its structure by terrorists would not be important, since stripping of its parts would lead to its cooling when in contact with air. A good alternative to clean energy except for a small detail : what about the wastes?
