The enviromental nazis will claim this technology will destroy all life on earth and will oppose it any way they can. Too bad since this appears to be a very
promising technology. Hyperorion will have to explain what it plans to do with the waste (if any) this technology produces and will have to explain why this technolgy is so safe. I can understand why the company is not publicly traded since an oil company could immedaitatly buy up the shares and kill of thier competition. I look forward to hearing more about this technology.

How long before this unit would be available, how much will it cost,and how long will it take to get one, what are the permits required to use this equipment. My facility is permitted for radioactive isoprobes, and I have a direct feed into the sub station.

I agree with Justin. The under-developed parts of the world would greatly benefit from such a technology. Now, all they have to do is figure out a way to afford it. Of course after having to pay off everyone down the line before they can develop there infrastructure. Us Americans and Brits can take it for granted because we make sure that our government doesn't forget who butters there bread. Therefore, while they (government officials) do steal and take bribes. At least they have to be careful about it since they know that they will have to pay a price for there greed. Where as countries like Kenya, the government there can and does do whatever it wants and the people just stand there and take it. Perhaps instead of complaining about others taking things for granted. Maybe you (Justin) should remember that freedom is not free and when you have paid the price for freedom then you too can take the rewards for granted because after all you DID earn it.

Peace.

"One question: Are we really ready to mass produce nuclear devices?"

Who's this "we" of which you speak.

Those of us living in under-developed regions of the world (Kenya) have been waiting our whole lives for what you Brits and Americanos take for granted.

I wonder at calling it a "battery." It doesn't really store energy so much as create it. "Fuel cell" might have been a more accurate descriptor for the company to go with.

Either way, this is pretty weird and hella neat.

Hyperion claims its product will be cheaper, cleaner, and safer than standard nuclear reactors, Earth2Tech reports. [...]
