The reactor was to be buried, similar to a heating oil tank, and would be refueled as necessary (perhaps every few years). It was part of the 'electricity too cheap to meter' plan in the '50s. I also saw, on Nickelodeon or a similar channel, an episode of 'I've Got a Secret' from that era where a guest brought a small demonstrator reactor onto the set and showed it powering a light bulb.
