Oh, well then I'm sorry I missed the part of the article where they said the reactor core was made out of some magical radioactive substance that can only be converted from mass into energy in a controlled manner. Oh wait, that's not in the article...
Let's ponder what this miraculous substance might be... sugar spice and everything nice perhaps?
I'm not sure what your point is, here. Are you concerned about accidents, deliberate misuse, or nuclear weapons?
As for accidents or misuse, I don't see that the danger is any greater than a conventional power plant. The nuclear weapon issue is completely non-starting, as they're smart enough not to use anything that could be weaponized.
