Hint --- check out "electrolysis of water".

Chalk and cheese springs to mind.
electricity? Which should be easy to tap into the NGrid?
And it is contained in a relatively small vessel, ie, a
submarine, which is manned by humans? So it cant be so
dangerous as you profess,
I also believe the us has developed a really small unit for use
on space vehicles that will have to travel outside of the solar
system, perhaps you could enlighten me on the workings
of these mini nuclear power systems as this subject interests
me muchly?
As for your statement that us is playing catch up with Russia
in the development of small reactors, my thoughts are that
the russian compacts you speak of are or were developed
from their submarines, hence my question why cant we do
the same, with the differance that we can leave the reactor
installed in the vessel as uk is a small island, and anywhere
in UK is within easy reach of the coast? Even London could
have a CLEAN? silent source of extra power at very little
outlay right inside the city?
Whereas Russia's big users of power are mainly thousands
of miles from the coasts and so will need specially designed
inland orientated units!

Re: Car free day
I have a cousin in Sydney called Tessa Holt (was Roberts) if you see her say Hi from me. Not seen her for about 50 yearsSure mate. I'll give Tessa a yell out hello for you. We actually have a Tessa in our street I think. There's 6 million people in Greater Sydney. But still, it might be her!
