Interesting technology that can be used for electricity on our planet, with a VERY interesting implication for spacecraft and space exploration.

Oh yeah, a 14 year old thought of it.

Since Fukushima, the need for a re-think for nuclear has been really obvious, an this would fit the bill of something I could support.

You're welcome.

This is the kind of nuclear technology that we should be doing.

Too bad we have such a hack in the white house.

The kid is a good public speaker, too. Often, kids that are that intelligent at such a young age are socially awkward.
