Toshiba sells nuclear mini-reactors. Chubais is in shock, Vladivostok is jubilant!

Toshiba has released a new type of energy source - the atomic mini-reactor.



Given the size of the reactor, 6x2 meters, it can be easily placed in the basement of your house and forget about the existence of RAO UES. In addition, the device is completely autonomous, does not require maintenance and is designed for 40 years of service. The reactor power is 200 kW and the approximate cost of one kW / hour is about 5 cents USD (1.23 rubles), which is not bad enough, considering that in the Central part of Russia 1 kW / hour costs approximately 1.60 rubles.



Toshiba plans to install the first reactors of this type in Japan already in 2008. In Europe and America, sales will begin in 2009, so we still have time to start saving for our own nuclear power plant.
