US Military Developing Poop-Powered Nuclear Reactors

Um, unless you’re crapping U-235, no.

What DARPA wants is a deployable reactor that can provide electricity, plus use locally available material — like poop — to make “mobility fuel” (e.g. biodiesel)

For the purposes of this RFI, DARPA/STO is interested in nuclear powered generator design concepts that produce both electricity and mobility fuel. The total energy output of the generator design should support an electrical load of 5 to 10 MW in addition to producing 15,000 gallons/day of fuel from indigenous hydrogen and carbon feedstocks.
