China is working on breeder and other reactors they are at the forfront of nuclear power technology... they have 24 in operation and another 25 being built... http://world-nuclear.org/info/Country-Profiles/Countries-A-F...



I've been wondering about applying nuclear in non-traditional locations. I wonder if CSX could get a compact breeder for trains. Same thing for super tankers. No more diesel. Just clean, safe, semi-renewable nuclear.


If you can't get political approval to build a nuclear reactor in a building, you're definitely not getting approval to put it on a train. Trains crash a hell of a lot more frequently than buildings.
