Purchasing a Hyperion Power Module (HPM)
Each HPM provides 70 MW thermal energy or 25 MW electric energy via steam turbine for seven to ten years. This amount of energy provides electricity for 20,000 average American-style homes or the industrial or infrastructure equivalent. Each module will cost $50 million. A couple of delivery dates starting in 2013 are available.
