Trellis Atomics Wants a Reactor in Your Yard
Credibility concern recorded. The source reference remains available for verification and correction.
Trellis Atomics pitches the Arbor, a sealed residential micro-reactor it says can provide continuous power for twelve years.
Field notes
The homepage describes installation on a poured 31-square-foot pad, with passive cooling, remote monitoring, and a technician visit about once a season. It lists 14 kW of continuous output, a 12-year refuel interval, and 22 dB noise at 10 feet. Trellis Atomics also says surplus power could be shared with selected neighbors. The page attributes the installation to an NRC Class III framework, but the supplied evidence contains no supporting regulatory or technical documentation.
