General Atomics invests in compact Energy Multiplier Module technology

General Atomics' Energy Multiplier Module reactor technology could result in nuclear reactors that can be built within 42 months and are small enough to fit on a tractor-trailer. The company has invested $40 million in the development of the technology so far and estimates that the first commercial reactor based on the technology could be built in the 2030s.http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-general-atomics-nuclear-20160724-snap-story.html
