Got exces U-235 laying around? Use it to fuel a new type of reactor that would never require refueling over it's life span.
Opinions?

Sounds promising, but how long is the life of containment estimated? It seems to run hotter than standard reactors, so that does seem to be a concern. Couldn't find any info on that.

From a safety standpoint, I believe I like the Hyperion Reactors.
