What, you want I should buy this? A Real Power Reactor

But how will I put it in my garage? I like the swimming pool idea better.

You might also take a look at UHTREX. It was (maybe still is) a high-temperature gas-cooled RX that was used in a Brayton cycle, replacing the gas turbine's combustor section. Interesting.

This is the Fort St. Vrain reactor. One thing to watch on this design is helium embrittlement of metals - this is completely outside of radiological effects on metals. Helium embrittlement was one of the shortfalls of Fort St. Vrain. This is somewhat similar to hydrogen embrittlement, which I have run into in some older reformer units in refineries. Alloys resistant to helium embrittlement have been found, partly driven by helium cooled fission power reactor designs, also partly driven by fusion research.
