We really know little about this news, but from the data, it seems that toshba has developed a miniature nuclear motor with an extremely small footprint (6 m x 2 m) that can provide a building, or the power of an entire residential area does not depend on the existing power grid. Technically, toshba uses liquid lithium-6 to replace general control rods and uses liquid sodium for Heat Conduction. It is said that such a combination is the safest solution. A small generator like this can have a power output of more than 40 years, with an estimated power consumption of 5 cents (3 cents and 7 cents) per degree ).
Toshiba micro-core Generator
At present, the first benefit may be the residents of remote areas-Galena town in Alaska is considering various schemes (fuel transportation is too troublesome, coal pollution is too heavy, solar energy is unavailable for half a year) I decided to install an enhanced version in the town, and I have already applied to relevant U.S. units. Toshba will give Galena a 10000 Tib Generator for free as a "demonstration Machine", hoping to attract residents from towns in remote areas to follow up. The expected maintenance cost of this "Town-level" generator is 10 cents per power supply, which is about the same as that of General power supply.
The first commercial micro-core generator may start in Japan as soon as 2008, and may be set up in the US and Europe as soon as 2009.
