This is how they are going to keep the elite going after they cut off the rest of us.

Hope it turns out better than the mess they left at Ft Greeley, just down the road...

Looking at the various sites and references, none specify exactly what the fuel is. I was hoping that the NuScale reactors would be liquid-salt thorium, but the lack of details suggest that the reactors are the traditional fast-breeder reactors. Anyone know differently?

These mini-nuke things should be sprinkled all over America. They’re cheap, efficient, and can be built quickly.

Lots of villages in Alaska get all of their electricity from diesel Caterpillar engines/generators. They use a LOT of expensive fuel. (Well, the fuel is bad enough, it is the cost of getting it to them that is really expensive!)

“The Department of the Air Force announced the selection of Eielson as the host facility for this pilot reactor because it’s in the middle of nowhere, and nobody cares about Alaska anyways”.

Amen.. let’s have at least as many as France. A little disconcerting that it is controlled by the military. A woke, maybe not so citizen friendly military.

I think the USAF had a reactor back in the ‘60s at their base in Greenland. Everything that is old is new again.

Nuclear reactors have been powering aircraft carriers for years. Why they haven’t already been used to provide secure, off grid power to military bases is beyond me.

Wouldn’t it be nice to think we could deploy these in
population centers to ease energy needs?

I give it less than few years before some wing-nut group
would try to tap them for dirty bomb materials.

I was stationed there TDY back in 1968-1969. Loved my time there. Crew Chief remained drunk the whole time. He never got off base while I visited Fairbanks several times.

When leaving one night to fly back to “The World”, he was griping that he had been in Alaska for two weeks and had never even seen the Northern Lights.

I simply said...”Well, look up!”

F-16 Viper? I hate how the modern Air Force renames their aircraft for a new model letter. The F-16 is a FALCON.

Image calling the C model of the P-51 Mustang the Chevy.

If they can run a nuclear sub and aircraft carrier why couldn’t they run small cities?

It’s the big nuclear plants that pose the major risks.

The small ones you could bury underground.

If you can stuff a reactor inside of a submarine, why not other small-scale platforms?
