1) As I said, the 'Danelaw didn't go for that reactor design mainly because of politics. The reason they gave was the Fen monopoly on He-3 production.
2) The Meyrin reactor covers the same sort of real estate as two (count 'em) Stellvias. It's not exactly a small thing.
3) The hybrid He-3/H-2 design was to use a He-3 reaction to ignite the H-2 reaction.
All in all, I can easily see JAXA being the ones to build a vehicle sized power-plant. The Fen have plenty of 'waved power sources to work with.
I can live and work with that...
and I can really see that Europe and Japan wants their own He-3 source. *G*
