“Marketplace” host Kai Ryssdal talks with the CEO of Radiant Nuclear about trying to make portable microreactors for data centers, military bases, and more.

Would be good for remote military bases. Not really practical for the UK, but I can imagine it'd be good for the US, what with your country being so large.
I know NASA want's a microreactor on the moon relatively soon, and what with the shift to SMRs, I reckon we'll be seeing a lot more of this type of reactor.

I've heard about that. Technology keeps advancing. Maybe one day every house will have its own cold fusion reactor!

I hope not
A fusion reactor spews out neutrons, which could be used to breed weapons grade plutonium from uranium theoretically
