Silver Bullet gets test-fired!
Polistra has been pushing the 'Silver Bullet' for energy problems, which is the Hyperion miniature nuclear reactor.
Hyperion is built by a company spawned from the Los Alamos energy labs.
Now the Hyperion is getting its first real trial at a related site, the Savannah River lab in South Carolina.
Should hit operational in three years, which isn't bad .... but the real purpose of the Hyperion is to eliminate lengthy licensing delays by concentrating all the nuclear stuff inside one well-protected capsule that can be used and recycled like a big battery. ¶ 7:27 AM
