Radiant microreactors meet NRC radiation limits outside a 35-foot perimeter
“We are down at one megawatt, so enough power for 1000 homes. And we can mass produce these in a factory, deliver them to a site, and with no infrastructure just outside of a 35 foot fence line, you can operate them and be at the NRC public dose limit for a rea…”

“If that helium pump fails, the system will start to heat up. And as it heats up, it doesn't even need to heat up very much. It heats up a little bit. The reactor goes subcritical and shuts itself off. And this is
this is true for most reactor technologies bec…”
