I was more than a little alarmed, but still slightly intrigued by this little item over at io9. what modern homemaker would be caught dead w/o their own personal nuclear reactor from Toshiba.
um...let me rephrase that...
the Toshiba 4-S Personal Reactor is advertised as
'super safe, small & simple'.
"The 4-S can run for 30 years without any refueling, and doesn't need "control rods" to initiate the nuclear reaction like today's reactors. Instead, it just uses reservoirs of liquid lithium-6, an isotope that can absorb neutrons. When the reactor's fuel source is finally used up in a few decades, you can just call Toshiba and they'll come and take your reactor away in a truck."
see, super simple! & safe!
hurry now, you don't want to be the last on your block to have this little beauty in the basement.
