Like Jones says Apollo is DOA. To make something for mass marketing with
fissionable isotopes--Pu-239 from U-238 for example and neutrons is a
security problem and very expensive. There is no competing with LENR with
no neutrons IMHO.

If existing nuclear emerging theory were valid, the Chernobyl catastrophe
should not have happened. Some factor outside of known nuclear engineering
principles increased the reactivity of the core of the reactor. One
possibility; electric discharge during a test could have push the reactor
into

What about using LENR as the neutron source? Some LENR fuels are reputed

Robin,
You and I shared similar hybrid design thoughts on a modular
mass-produced sub-critical reactor 15 years ago... but the basis of the
Apollo design goes back before "cold fusion" and is still not very smart
IMO -- since it depends on 3He and extremely expensive magnets. It is
DOA even

Not much on the company website. I wonder if they are going to implement the
model I suggested here on vortex a
