Is a reactor be designed with a negative void coefficient sufficient to let it moderate itself in the way depicted in this pic?
If so, why don't we have ultra-cheap to operate and build reactors like pic related?
Further, can this design be sized to use natural uranium, preferably burning more than half of the U235?
If yes to above, this seems a very cheap power source. No fancy enormous forgings for ultra high pressure vessels. Just 20th century steam train tech.
