Thorium or downgraded warhead material for fuel, 100 Megawatts times 30 years (I was told there'd be no math*), a failsafe that depends on gravity. If gravity has failed you have bigger problems.
Turn it upside down and the pit that drains in a accident becomes a tank that is used to hot-start the reactor just before you cut off the ascent engines.
I love it when a plan has an upside.
