Combined with the new supercritical CO2 turbines this should have a dramatically smaller footprint too. I'm excited. That was a promo though, not a piece of journalism; and it does gloss over the fact that it does in fact produce fission products that are nasty and need to be stored properly.

When are we gonna start doing proper storage so we don't have 38,000 soft terrorist targets in the country?
