small nukes? [RE-wrenches]

[Tom Elliot, Guffey Energy Works]

Hi all, I saw a message in the list about the mini-nuke plant and a comment
by someone (forget who now) that the liquid sodium was extremely corrosive
and hence a problem yet to be solved.  However, this article,
http://www.adn.com/front/story/4214182p-4226215c.html says of the liquid
sodium:

"The Toshiba design looks safe on paper, according to Hermann Grunder,
director of Argonne National Laboratory in Chicago, a federal research
facility that has investigated the new generation of reactors. Liquid sodium
eliminates corrosion, which is a primary cause of nuclear power plant
accidents, Grunder wrote to the Daily News in an e-mail."

So which is it?

Tom
