    OK - the "Pebble Bed Nuclear Reactor" uses very small fuel units, each a 
shpere the size of a tennis ball, and they are *rotated* throughthe core.  
These units do *not* have a big containment building and are FAR less 
expensive.  The ABCNews article is gone, but here is a different article that 
might help.

altering their views to fit the facts, they alter the facts to fit their 
views ... which can be very uncomfortable if you happen to be one of the 
facts that needs altering."
