NukaSage & Andex

Andex, I’ve been building a prototype thorium micro‑reactor that can run on a fraction of the fuel and spit out clean energy—imagine a city powered by a handful of units, plus a side‑project converting the waste heat into hydrogen. What do you think about scaling that for a rapid, modular deployment?

That’s a killer idea, but let’s not get lost in the hype. You’ve nailed the tech, but scaling a thorium reactor is a different beast—licensing, supply chain, public perception, and the sheer cost of building each module will hit hard. If you want rapid deployment, think modular kits, pre‑tested units, and a clear path to grid integration. Also, don’t underestimate the scrutiny from regulators; you’ll need a robust safety case before you can hand out those units. Keep the momentum, but lay out a realistic rollout roadmap and secure some early partners. That’s the only way it’ll move from prototype to city‑wide power.

Good points, good points—nothing stops progress unless it’s a bureaucratic pothole. I’ll sketch a modular kit that boots up in a week, run safety demos in front of regulators, and line up a few forward‑thinking utilities for pilot projects. I’ll also lock in a supply line for thorium and get the legal team on board so the paperwork’s cleaner than my lab notebooks. The roadmap will have three phases: prototype validation, pilot grid integration, then city‑wide rollout. I’ll keep the momentum high, but you’re right, we’ll need partners who aren’t scared of a little heat. Let's make it happen, one module at a time.
