Description: Nuclear power plants aren't only megascale now. There are some new options that are big enough only to power a small village, or a single highrise urban building. Such units are claimed to be inherently safe and require no onsite operator. Are they a viable option for small scale electrical power generation?

The initial idea for this blog came from a passing mention in a news item that I read that a Japanese company had proposed to provide an Alaskan village with a very small scale nuclear power plant. The company claimed that the system they were proposing was "inherently safe" - if something went wrong, the monitoring system removed power to the system and it would "coast to a stop" until someone could repair the problem.
Having spent some time in Alaska, such a system made tremendous sense to me, given that many Alaska villages got their electrical power purely from diesel-powered generators... and that diesel was often delivered by the barrel... by small planes!
