US Air Force’s first nuclear micro reactor pilot project
An attempt to make the use of equipment that requires large power can be operated in remote areas, mountainous, islands, etc. by using this system. However, I think that the reliability is quite high from the operation results of aircraft carriers and submarines, but nuclear power seems to be quite a heavy issue not only technical but also political issue in Japan. It is a topic to be interested about, anyway.
