A unit of Intellectual Ventures — the patent firm depart by passe - Microsoft main tech beau Nathan Myhrvold and fund part by Bill Gates — calledTerraPower is talking with Toshibaabout using its nuclear nuclear reactor technical school to build clandestine nuclear reactor .
Their reactor tech supposedly can “ course for decades on depleted U without refueling or removing spent fuel from the equipment . ” So , these nuclear reactor are built path , right smart underground , without people actually working in them . Of of course , these safer , sleazy and awesomer reactors are years and days aside from in reality being develop .
Still , Bill Gates + atomic power sound kind of nerdsexy , maybe more sothan the near - mythologic Bloom Box , even if you ’re ambivalent about what Intellectual Ventures actually does ( just Google — or Bing—”Intellectual Ventures patent troll ” ) . [ WSJ , Image viabibliodyssey / Flickr ]
