1 This is not new, originally the idea was to use nuclear submarine power plant designs as the starting point for shipping container sized nuclear power plants.

Personally, I like the idea of using smaller molten salt reactors using thoriumas the fuel. This seems to be a much safer design as if nothing is done to prevent 'run away' reaction, the reaction will naturally die.
