Hyperion Nuclear Reactor In A Size Of A Hot Tub

In search for the alternative source of energy around the globe and as part of the transition government of president elect barrack obama clean energy program, Hyperion Power Generation which is a Los Alamos based company is developing a hyperion nuclear reactor in a size of a hot tub.

But some of you may not know the immense power this nuclear reactor can generate so i suggest you don’t belittle this new source of energy as the hyperion nuclear reactor is a sealed fission based nuclear reactor that can supply power to a small community that when hooked up to a steam turbine, the hyperion nuclear reactor can generate enough supply of electricity to power nearly 25,000 homes in about five years. The hyperion nuclear batteries can work without human intervention and considered extremely safe.

However, experts are in doubt of using this so called safe kind of nuclear energy which based on fission process just like the atomic bomb. Experts are also worried by the pollution it will create in the process of extracting the radioactive ore and the storage problems of the spent nuclear fuel in the long run. So it maybe a good source of energy but then again we have to consider the possible threat it can bring to humanity that is why intensive studies should be made in using the hyperion nuclear reactor.
