#2 These are the large plants we are familiar with. However, the Chinese are wisely going for over 300 pebble bed reactors. They are cleaner, smaller, and produce less energy, but they are also cheaper and make little or no high grade waste.

#4 Moose, I'd liek these 30 to be a start, but to be supplemented by larger numbers of distributed PBRs and a a set of very large capacity plants that are built as long-life high capacity breeder reactors to "burn" the wast from the other plants, ans to be the mainstay of the base load.

#5 Clever on several levels. It's a start. It makes it harder for the nay-sayers to fuss. After all, if the country of Hiroshima and Nagasaki is the one building the plants, it must be ok. And the Japanese are known for their Total Quality approach, and have never had a Three Mile Island incident, so far as the outside world is aware.
