There are actual micronuclear reactors though, which is why I was initially hopeful lol:<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;westinghousenuclear.com&#x2F;energy-systems&#x2F;evinci-microreactor&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;westinghousenuclear.com&#x2F;energy-systems&#x2F;evinci-micror...</a><p>Other names to google: NuScale VOYGR™ Micro (77MW scalable), Oklo Aurora (1.5MW), Ultra Safe Nuclear Corporation (USNC) Micro Modular Reactor (MMR) (5MW thermal, 1.5MW electric), Rolls-Royce SMR (470 MW), HolosGen HolosQuad (3-13 MW), X-energy Xe-100 (80 MW)

I was skeptical at first, but given that it’s such a well known energy company, I’m sure this will be a great product!

The Enron Egg is a compact nuclear reactor that uses Uranium-Zirconium Hydride (U-ZrH) fuel rods to generate heat through nuclear fission. This heat is transferred via a 3D-printed Inconel heat exchanger, powering a turbine to generate electricity. A closed-loop cooling system ensures safe operation without environmental contamination.

I really thought it’s real. I should really ask more questions. It will be cool product one day. Power companies will never let something like this come out.

118$ for a sweatshirt. Guess those rights were expensive.
