Actually, it sounds to me like a variation of the pebble bed reactor, sometimes referred to as a nuclear battery, similar technologies can be built on different scales from about the size of a fridge up to the size of a skyscraper to provided safe energy on demand. Hitachi and Mitsubishi have a version designed to be used in times of crisis and national disasters, they are about the size of a mini bus and can be helicoptered into disaster zones and hooked up to provide power for thousands of properties at a moments notice.
