Recent surveys confirm high levels of U.S. nuclear support
Surveys have consistently indicated that public support in the United States for the use of nuclear energy has been increasing in recent years. Four recent surveys continue to suggest that near-record-high numbers of Americans support nuclear energy. However, the survey results differ—sometimes widely—in the details of their findings.

The Geyser District Heating Reactor (GDHR) and a low-temperature steam-cycle, the Geyser Thermal Energy Converter (GTEC), make a system with remarkable features. The estimated costs project, that relatively small plants distributed over a network, or operating autonomously, are cost effective. As a cogeneration device the Geyser system can supply ample heating power and some electricity opening new alternatives. Innovative combination of conventional components besides using advanced design and analysis techniques available to engineers today allow further increase of the thermal efficiency.
