Nifty-neato!
And is it me or are these things looking like New and Improved Soviet Navy Recactors? I know they were using Liquid Sodium in their Reactors for the Alpha and Akula (did I mess that up Aramis, it's supposed to be 'shark' IIRC) last I checked.
However, Aramis the last link gets me to a 404, what's up with that...They don't. It's an automated sealed unit, to be buried (yes, buried) 300' underground. Uses a liquid moderating fluid rather than control rods.
