Where Do We Stand?

• Dwindling fossil-fuel reserves
• Huge amounts of nuclear waste
• Increasing demand for energy
• Insufficient housing

3
USA will run out by 2014

• Huge amounts of nuclear waste

Yucca Mountain will be complete by 2017 at the
earliest
Dry cask storage unsuitable

Our Proposal
POW!

1. Convective high-rise
2. Conductive flat-plan
3. Remote boiler

6
Convective High-Rise

• Protection
• 8ft of water, 4ft of concrete or 1ft of lead

Distribution Wind-powered fans
Bonuses Normalisation of flat prices
7
Conductive Flat-Plan
Protection 8ft of water, 4ft of concrete or 1ft
of lead
Distribution Under-floor conductive transfer
Bonuses Hydrogen production
8
Remote Boiler
Protection gt8ft of water Geiger-Müller tubes
inside outlet pipes Proximity-protected pipes
Distribution Insulated pipes into hot water tanks
Bonuses Hydrogen production
9
Some Physics
Hydrogen Production Radioactivity can split water
molecules, enabling hydrogen capping.
Energy Potential 10,000 MWd/MTU (Heat 3,000 homes
for 3 years!)
?
2.5 million years of light
YES! 10,000 MWd/MTU
Enough to power the entire USA for thetime it
takes to complete this presentation?
10 billion cups of tea
How much energy in 1 ton?
Enough to heat a house for a year?
Enough for ten years?

Summary

• SFP Spent Fuel Pool
• Convective high-rise, conductive flat-plan and
  remote boiler options.
• Hydrogen production
• Mostly no moving parts
• Abundant fuel
