Lee, I would recommend that you have your friend check out the Kohala Center.... although I do not think that they have really looked into reactors (because of their funding emphasis), they have sponsored quite a bit of research on energy here, emphasis on sustainable.... (The SSTAR I heard from an old dive buddy who did some of the research on the reactor design... so I am limited on what I know....it is a cool prototype....just too early to tell)
I do remember from some of the Kohala research that a big limiting factor one this island is our aging infrastructure & the ability of our power lines to handle much more.... unfortunately the upgrade will most likely hit us all in the pockets... anyhoo, a link for your friend:
