HRogge Wrote:Who said they were Terrawatt reactors? 200 GW a piece (makes for a big reactor, but Handwavium is involved) and even then we're using huge banks of capacitors. (Atalante is roughly 100km in diameter - I think there's enough room.) Upgrades will happen over time, and eventually they work their way towards have 1TW reactors... probably sometime around 2030's or 2040's. Okay or not okay?blackaeronaut Wrote:This is why Ben likes fission reactors. Whole lotta bang. Itty-bitty space.I am sorry to say this, but fission power is not enough to fire this weapon at the "demonstrated rate".
36 Atalante has six at its core. Mostly to power the mass driver launch system they use.
The largest fission power plants are single-digit GIGAwatt... not TERAwatt.
