Hello Malcolm,

I appreciate your comments. We can save a lot of back & forth here if you can get your hands on the article on pebble based nuclear reactors in China in the current issue of "Wired" magazine. It also gives a brief synopsis of why pebble based reactors got pushed to the side 50 years ago when nuclear power plants were in the planning stage (the US Navy wanted fuel rod reactors to propel submarines & was willing to fund the same). I may have been wrong on the date of 2020 for having 300 of them--it might be 2050. I can't confirm because I loaned the article out.

Article also says these reactors produce power cheaply enough to have a net gain when the power is used to produce hydrogen.

Someone with more knowledge needs to weigh in here, but the first step is for everyone interested to read the article.

Bill
