I'd have to see exactly what they submit to the NRC (if they ever do) to see the design but I tend to believe that some of their claims are already impossible (like no moving parts - when they say they use turbines to produce electrical energy - impossible to do with no moving parts)
They claim on their website that the unit is enclosed in concrete which is why I made the comment - also the uraniom that is used in the fission process wouldnt just be "hot" thermally - it would be instantly fatal if exposed to it - the enrichment figures they talk about are not much different than you see in a University reactor at colleges in the US.
The low level exposure studies are something Ive been following for a long time - seems that most researchers come to the conclusion that some small amounts of exposure are beneficial - while others claim that "any" exposure has a risk - seems kind of weird since the body is a source of radiation from the bones naturally (Potassium).
