A company formed by some SPAWAR alumni (and others), Global Energy Corporation claims to have a green fission technology nearly ready for testing in smaller markets -
GUAM POWER AUTHORITY EXPLORES NUCLEAR POWER Next generation facilities could reduce power costs http://pidp.eastwestcenter.org/pireport/2012/February/02-13-02.htm Virginia firm offers nuclear energy http://www.mvariety.com/cnmi/cnmi-news/local/46996-virginia-firm-offers-nuclear-energy.php (Company website) http://www.globalenergycorporation.net/ A possibly relevant ICCF-17 paper - "Its not Low Energy But it is Nuclear" - Pamela A. Mosier-Boss http://newenergytimes.com/v2/conferences/2012/ICCF17/ICCF-17-Mosier-Boss-Its-Not-Low-Energy-Paper.pdf My interpretation is that they expect to use LENR to generate relatively low-energy neutrons to initiate fission chains starting with U-238 and terminating in fairly harmless wastes. To me, it seems similar to the Thorium reactor approach. Their adviser list seems impressive. Any opinions? - Lou Pagnucco
