Talk:Toshiba 4S

March 2008
This is a hoax. Nowhere on the toshiba webpages or any other credible source this is mentioned.


 * I don't think it is a hoax. I added a reference with some more detail.  Also the NRC mentions it at . Paul Studier (talk) 20:09, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

HAHAHAHAHA it's not a fucking hoax dude. http://www.nrc.gov/reading-rm/doc-collections/fact-sheets/new-nuc-plant-des-bg.html "Toshiba 4S - On Feb. 2, 2005, the NRC staff met with the city manager and vice mayor of Galena, Alaska to discuss and answer questions on the city’s plans to build a Toshiba 4S reactor to provide its electricity. Toshiba began pre-application discussions with NRC staff in Oct. 2007, and the company expects to submit a design approval application in 2009." That's straight off the NRC website. 66.215.122.173 (talk) 20:48, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Toshiba 4S status
As far as the documents I have seen, all is going on course with the 4S reactor. Looks like a profitable and helpful energy solution. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fuzzywigg (talk • contribs) 13:41, 2 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't know if this is a hoax or not. But "Using sodium allows the reactor to be unpressurized" was already used in an PWR located in France : Superph%C3%A9nix this was an engineering disaster. Nice on paper but so dangerous in reality. AlexandreDulaunoy (talk) 21:16, 10 January 2010 (UTC)

Unit price clarification
The price per kWh is stated as cents per kWh. What kind of cents are these? Dollarcents? Eurocents? If somebody knows, please update the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.27.0.221 (talk) 10:09, 24 March 2010 (UTC)


 * It is most likely dollar. Does anyone know how much it costs to actually manufacture it? --Polysophia (talk) 06:53, 19 April 2010 (UTC)

More press
More press: Small Nuclear Reactors Are Becoming Big Business: The race is on to develop refrigerator-size reactors that could power small towns or plants, Business Week, 2010-05020, accessed 2010-05-24. Toshiba will have lots of competition in the race to fill the small nuclear niche, and all companies will have an uphill fight to license the technology through the regulatory bureaucracy. The NRC expects that US regulatory approvals would take three to five years, after applications are filed (expected later this year from both Toshiba and Hyperion Power Generation.
