You could never have a Chernobyl-type event - there are no moving parts,' said Deal. 'You would need nation-state resources in order to enrich our uranium. Temperature-wise it's too hot to handle. It would be like stealing a barbecue with your bare hands.'
Now I'm as pro-nuclear as anyone, but don't never say never. We're having Chernobyl-type events with Sony laptop batteries! Invent something idiot-proof, and someone else improves the idiots!

Seriously, I hope it works out. Only issue, as always, is disposing of the waste. Possibly you just leave the unit in situ when it wears out, if the unit is as stout as they say.

Many a slip twixt the cup and the lip ...
