The Wall Street Journal has an article up too, but I'm not a subscriber.
A unit of Intellectual Ventures-the patent firm started by ex-Microsoft chief tech dude Nathan Myhrvold and funded partly by Bill Gates-called TerraPower is talking with Toshiba about using its nuclear reactor tech to build underground reactors. |

The Nikkei business daily earlier reported that the two sides would team up to develop a compact next-generation reactor that can operate for up to 100 years without refueling to provide emission-free energy. The daily said the joint development would focus on the Traveling-Wave Reactor (TWR), which consumes depleted uranium as fuel. Current light-water reactors require refueling every few years. |
