I like the idea but not sure if wealthy homeowners would want to a nuclear reactor in the vicinity of their homes. It would have to be proven out over a couple of decades of incident-free operation before it becomes acceptable.

Los Altos Hills resident here. Sign me up for one in my yard. There's an empty lower acre begging to do something useful.

How about building housing there? As long as house prices are as high as they are today, that should be the main priority.

Local zoning regulations don't allow it. But backup power systems? No problem.
