Conspicuously not mentioned: what kind of design the reactor uses. Thanks engadget, 10/10 reporting.
Based on the wikipedia article, it looks like a passive decay heater attached to a bunch of sterling engines. Pretty much a souped up RTG that trades more energy output for having moving parts. Neat.
