do they use a municipal water supply for coolant?

 

'cools the steam back into liquid water'

 

nigga google is telling me these things are air cooled. 2ndary water line is closed, steam converted back to water by AIR. Sounds like bullshit to me

5MW microreactors "Produce so little waste heat that they can dump it into the air using fans, just like the radiator in a heavy-duty truck"

 

5MW air cooling still sounds like sci fi to me

 

Ah OK maybe we're getting somewhere. Now google finally says "a 5MW microreactor with roughly 10MW of waste heat can be cooled by a fan-bank system approximately the size of two standard shipping containers"

 

So you got 1 container for the reactor + 2 more for the cooling + another for control. OK
