General Atomics, San Diego, California is aiming to turn nuclear power on its head.
Running turbines running on Helium at 865 C, double the light water reactors now in use, the plant can produce power for 30 years before shut down for refuelling contrasting with the 18 years for the light water reactors.
There is more to it. This technology does not need the huge cooling water requirements, doing away with the need for locating near a large water source.

Shall we say: Go for it GA!
