Micro reactors have micro markets. The diseconomies of scale kill it for general grid power.


that's a philosophical view. We don't want a single grid, we want power in places we need it. Building for a single grid has a bunch of expensive opinions that serve mainly to provide a control layer instead of serving the basic economic need.

A micro reactor can practically fund itself on model training, data processing, and cryptocurrencies, and where it can't there is actual usage.
