So, looking for something in a nuclear power plant, but not too big and not too expensive? How about a small, modular liquid-metal reactor, provided with its fuel installed? Look no further than the 100 MWe SVBR<\/span>-100, shipped direct to you by — yes, you guessed it — the Acme company.<\/em><\/p>\n

Kirill Danilenko, the director of the Russian company, Akme Engineering, said that the technology could be made safe, with no greater risk of meltdown than that at a larger nuclear plant. His vision is that small reactors will become so common that utilities can connect them and \u201cbuild power plants like Lego sets.\u201d <\/p>\n

The Russian company, Akme, is an acronym for atomic complex for small and medium energy and sometimes renders its name in English as Acme. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

World Nuclear News<\/a> reports that the new mini-reactors should be available by 2019. No word on species requirements for buyers.<\/p>\n
