This deserves an Oregon ping since Oregon State University did the research on this design by making a 1/4 scale model. Go Beavs. This design utilizes many passive safety systems and relies on the laws of physics and is the safest design on the planet.

"and is the safest design on the planet."

Don't get me wrong, I am for it, but isn't what they said about the TMI design as I look at it out my window. Two stacks steaming, two stacks dead forever.

I respectfully disagree. The ABWR is the safest design currently available on the plant. But the PWR guys are not “that far” behind. :D)

What are some practical design limits for scale size? I always figured that every home by the late 50s should have had one - made by Heathkit, that would provide a welcome heat source for steam boiler and electricity generation. Every 20 years or so, you send in some boxtops and they would send out some new rods or something.
