Is this a wind up?

"The new Toshiba Micro Nuclear reactor will produce 200 kW of energy for forty years; it requires no maintenance and is totally automatic.
Just twenty feet long by six feet wide, the Toshiba Home Nuclear fission reactor is just what you need to charge up your new electric car. When the power runs out, they truck it away.
Unlike traditional nuclear reactors the new micro reactor uses no control rods to initiate the reaction. The new revolutionary technology uses reservoirs of liquid lithium-6, an isotope that is effective at absorbing neutrons. The Lithium-6 reservoirs are connected to a vertical tube that fits into the reactor core. The whole whole process is self sustaining and can last for up to 40 years, producing electricity for only 5 cents per kilowatt hour, about half the cost of grid energy."
