Nothing wrong with this shed?

The site that it’s on seems to show things that was done on the cheap and not very well, but I think this is a great shed?

Would you want a nuclear reactor in your shed – dont worry It’s not going to happen anytime soon

John “Grizz” Deal wants to put a nuclear reactor in your shed in your back garden According to the Times.

As nuclear plants go, these are tiny, about the size of a shed. They will be buried 6ft underground, can run virtually unmanned for a decade and provide enough power for 20,000 people.

But in his comment on the Times site he says

While we certainly appreciate your mention of our firm in today’s Times, you have done your readers a disservice.

The comparison, size-size, of our reactor to a garden shed is accurate. But no one in the industry, especially Hyperion Power, proposes locating a power plant in one’s back garden.

A Hyperion Power Module-based power plant is no more appropriate for one’s backyard than a gas, coal, or heavy oil power plant. Our plants will generate enough electricity for over 20,000 homes, and like gas, coal, and heavy oil power plants, will a require security systems and a safety corridor.

Humans continue to cause disruption in our environment, and our power needs grow each day. Solving these issues requires serious people and complex solutions, not comedic jabs.

Sincerely,
John R. Grizz Deal, CEO
Hyperion Power

I am member of the cardifffreecycle group and their admin sent this timely email out last night.

The police are reporting a high number of shed break-ins. Two days after receiving a letter from the police warning of activity in the area (Barry) my shed got broken into.

They did not take anything, not sure if I am more annoyed or insulted!!

The police respond quickly and arranged for a forensic team to visit. I was very impressed until the police officer phoned saying he cant find the house and asked me for directions!!!

I have too much junk in the shed, leaving it open tonight, hoping they will come back and finish the job. Was thinking about leaving out some mince pies and a glass of milk :)

All joking aside, please think about where you are hiding Christmas presents this year. The garden shed may not be a good option.

so be careful where you hide your pressies sheddies or maybe send something to me!
