This afternoon I was thinking about Japan

And I started to wonder what would have happened if instead of big nuclear plants they had small nuclear power facilities all over. I typed "home nuclear power" into google and guess what, there is such a thing

Apparently, toshiba was working on such a device in 2007 and they planned to distribute them in Japan and Europe. In that article it costs 5 cents per kilowatt.

In this later article they say it will costs 10 cents per kilowatt and are made by an American Firm called hyperion

Apparently, they bury them underground, have no weapons grade material, and are encased in concrete. If it wasn't for large natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunami, it would sound like a good idea. But imagine if there were tons of little nuclear messes all over the place.
