[ RadSafe ] Highly Enriched Fuel Reactors

[David Lee]

What are modular reactors?
modular = small? non energy production? No coolant loop? Isotope
production? Medicals? Pool?
Used to be modular meant sections = modulars, turn off module if less
energy is needed or repair needed on one module.

Jaro,
20 % cut off is about right, it is where "they" can probablly go weapons
grade under certain cirmustances.
