What we might get instead could be digital neutrino communications tech. Call right through the Earth, no problem.
Brilliant. Wonder how far are we away from that reality.
Chernobyl and nuclear resonance.

Yeah, we are there:

If we can build one on the silent and desolate Antarctic continent, then I'm pretty sure there's some military applications at play here.

Seems like anti-neutrinos seem to be also a key player also:

Every second greater than 1025 antineutrinos radiate to space from Earth, shining like a faint antineutrino star. Underground antineutrino detectors have revealed the rapidly decaying fission products inside nuclear reactors, verified the long-lived radioactivity inside our planet and informed sensitive experiments for probing fundamental physics. Mapping the anisotropic antineutrino flux and energy spectrum advance geoscience by defining the amount and distribution of radioactive power within Earth while critically evaluating competing compositional models of the planet. We present the Antineutrino Global Map 2015 (AGM2015), an experimentally informed model of Earth’s surface antineutrino flux over the 0 to 11 MeV energy spectrum, along with an assessment of systematic errors. The open source AGM2015 provides fundamental predictions for experiments, assists in strategic detector placement to determine neutrino mass hierarchy and aids in identifying undeclared nuclear reactors. We use cosmochemically and seismologically informed models of the radiogenic lithosphere/mantle combined with the estimated antineutrino flux, as measured by KamLAND and Borexino, to determine the Earth’s total antineutrino luminosity at
. We find a dominant flux of geo-neutrinos, predict sub-equal crust and mantle contributions, with ~1% of the total flux from man-made nuclear reactors.

Employing antineutrino detectors to safeguard future nuclear reactors from diversions
The Non-Proliferation Treaty and other non-proliferation agreements are in place worldwide to ensure that nuclear material and facilities are used only for peaceful purposes. Antineutrino detectors, sensitive to reactor power and fuel changes, can complement the tools already at the disposal of international agencies to safeguard nuclear facilities and to verify the States’ compliance with the agreements. Recent advancement in these detectors has made it possible to leverage them to reduce the likelihood of an undetected diversion of irradiated nuclear material. Here we show the sensitivity of antineutrino monitors to fuel divergence from two reactor types: a traditional light-water reactor and an advanced sodium-cooled reactor design, a likely candidate for future deployment. The analysis demonstrates that a variety of potential diversion scenarios can be detected by such a system. We outline recent developments in monitoring capabilities and discuss their potential security implications to the international community.
Now, I can have good dreams at night.

As the standard models is not appropriate to understand low energy particle interactions (and of course LENR) we cannot trust the neutrino picture we currently have. The high energy plots at least do correlate with nuclear power plants/labs locations. The rest mass of the neutrino is below 0.1eV according the last experiments. This is far to low to calculate them into formulas dealing with nuclear processes. Even with the best SO(4) model we have an error bar of 10e-10 in proton mass = 0.1 eV.
I expect that the neutrino wave function needs 8D (octonions) modeling as this is the appropriate space to model nuclei after 4-He or Z >2.
Just for the interested ones: 8D is the last possible space as the average density has a dipping point between n=7 and n=8. But may be the neutrino is one exception...

I might be talking a little too loud, but A LOT can be figured out about reactor designs and seemingly, (anti-neutrino shielding, if not even neutrino shielding) seems very likely...
In my mind, it wouldn't take much to make subs with neutrino signatures A LOT more undetectable. What worries me, is that Russia, Israel, and even India seem to be at the leading edge based on the above two pictures.
I'm going to be a lot more quiet now.
Sorry, I feel like something that shouldn't have been said, despite necessary, was said.
We need to resist the urge to control other fast developing countries' peaceful scientific research, potencially slowing down their local energy development. Neutrino focusing or some form of medium distance electromagnetic influence on unstable cores would have quite interesting implications in accelerated RTGs/nuclear batteries and getting energy while stabilising conventional waste! On the other hand it would be nice if genuine nuclear energy on the military/industrial was unhidable on a global scale for safety and trust reasons along with neutrino comunication making things interesting.
Ahh if we can find a fine tune in the middle of the atomic and chemical energy levels... If you have energy dense reactions on the keV scale without significant neutrinos or gamma or nuetron flux your silver lining is there. The electromagnetic nature of some nuclear phenomina hints at a continum of affects from 1.8 ev up to 10s of MeV. And a ~0.5-100keV range of atomic core electron reactions could provide maximum usable energy density while producing minimum dangerous reactor complicating situations.
Unlike Chernobyl the reactions would require consistent control input and are easy to be subcritically arranged. This is metal hydride chemistry taken to it's limits. Second the reactions would mostly have hard UV to soft X-ray light as the main direct release along with some other electromagnetic effects and novel materials/compounds.
Nuclear resonance seems interesting idk why it isn't talked about more as a means to make conventional reactors safer and vastly more efficient. Conventional means molten salt/metal breed and burn reactors my favorite type of conventional set up. Vastly unlocking chemistry to picoscale energy densities and improving the finest fission/RTG/nuclear battery tech would do the field amazingly like medicine.
