Nuclear Energy Pioneer Hyperion Power Generation to Participate in the 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denverwww.hyperionpowergeneration.com/news.html
DENVER, COLORADO, AUGUST 20, 2008 — Hyperion Power Generation, the developer of the world's first small, transportable, commercial nuclear power reactor, will participate in the Democratic National Convention's "2008 Civic Celebration" on Sunday, August 24 at Area C. The event will be held from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. in the Mile High City's Civic Center Park.
With over 50,000 people coming to Denver, the Sunday event is a unique and affordable way for Colorado to showcase its culture and diversity during the DNC. John R. "Grizz" Deal, CEO of Hyperion, agrees and believes it is an excellent opportunity to interact directly with the public concerning key public policy issues, and the global energy crisis in particular.

"Our view is certainly that nuclear energy must become a bigger part of the power mix in the United States, along with other renewable energy such as wind and solar" said Deal.
"The Hyperion Power Module (HPM) can make clean, affordable power a reality where it was never before thought possible."
We see the DNC's civic event in the park as an ideal venue for reaching savvy citizens concerned about energy and the future of the planet in general. We want to reach out to the public and have an open dialogue about nuclear power and its benefits."
Conceived at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Hyperion Power Module intellectual property portfolio has been licensed to Hyperion Power Generation for commercialization under the laboratory's technology transfer program. Inherently safe and proliferation-resistant, the HPM utilizes the energy of low-enriched uranium fuel in a technology unlike any other currently in development or use that builds on the decades of safe and secure use of academic and training reactors at universities and laboratories. Approximately 4,000 units of the same design will be produced, sealed and shipped from company manufacturing sites around the globe.

According to the literature on this reactor, it uses low grade fuel not suitable for making weapons. The fuel could not even power a regular nuclear reactor. I doubt bin Laden would have much use for one other than to make electricity!
