  Welcome to SSTAR of Massachusetts
Further, we plan to include local events that may be of interest to the residents of Fall River and surrounding communities.
SSTAR was the first agency in the area to establish an inpatient substance abuse detoxification unit and the first to open an HIV walk-in testing clinic.
In July of 1995, SSTAR of Rhode Island was selected to be the first private agency to provide public Detox services in Rhode Island.

  SSTAR - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SSTAR is an acronym for the "small, sealed, transportable, autonomous reactor" - being primarily researched and developed in the US by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory.
It is intended as a fast breeder reactor that is tamper resistant, passively safe, has a self-contained fuel source of Uranium-238 and an operative life of 30 years, which provides a constant power source between 10 and 100 megawatts.
Currently, no prototypes for SSTARs exist - one is expected by 2015, and they are being researched as a possible replacement for today's light water reactors.

 Nuclear energy to go: A self-contained, portable reactor
SSTAR will also secure the nuclear fuel because, after its operation, the sealed reactor will be returned to a secure recycling facility for refueling or maintenance.
SSTAR is designed as a lead-cooled fast reactor (LFR) that can supply 10 to 100 MWe with a reactor system that can be transported in a shipping cask.
To be certified, the SSTAR prototype must demonstrate in a test environment that it can safely withstand accidents, including the most improbable ones such as failure of the active shutdown and shutdown heat-removal systems.

 Nuclear power - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
SSTAR, Small, Sealed, Transportable, Autonomous Reactor is being primarily researched and developed in the US, intended as a fast breeder reactor that is tamper resistant, passively safe.
Certain types of reactors are more conducive to producing nuclear weapons materials than others, and a number of international disputes over proliferation have centered on the specific model of reactor being contracted for in a country suspected of nuclear weapon ambitions.
New technology, like SSTAR, may lessen the risk of nuclear proliferation by providing sealed reactors with a limited self-contained fuel supply and with restrictions against tampering.

 Nuclear Energy to Go
The DOE thinks that this kind of nuclear reactor -- named SSTAR for "small, sealed, transportable, autonomous reactor" -- would help to deliver nuclear energy to developing countries while significantly reducing the risk of nuclear proliferation associated with the use of nuclear power.
According to this article, the SSTAR program can also be useful inside the U.S. In the U.S., the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) oversees more than 100 nuclear power plants that were built during the 1960s and 1970s.
The current SSTAR design reduces the potential for a terrorist to divert or misuse the nuclear materials and technology.

 The Herald News - SSTAR to end rape crisis services; cites funding concerns   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Dale Brown, director of the Women's Center at SSTAR, said it's been difficult to run the rape crisis program over the last two years due to cutbacks and grant funding that did not support services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, as is necessary.
Brown said the decision to give up the rape crisis services was not made lightly, and that SSTAR will still offer therapy to victims of sexual assault as it has for many years.
It recently hired one staff member from SSTAR and is planning to hire another bilingual counselor.

 New Scientist Breaking News - US plans portable nuclear power plants   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The developers claim that no one would be able to remove the fissile material from the reactor because its core would be inside a tamper-proof cask protected by a thicket of alarms.
Another reason to provide a small reactor is that conventional nuclear stations generate around a gigawatt of electricity, and that is overkill for plants in developing countries without an extensive electricity grid to distribute it.
In an SSTAR the nuclear fuel, liquid lead coolant and a steam generator will be sealed inside the housing, along with steam pipes ready to be hooked up to an external generator turbine.
