I don't know... a fuzzy-logic rice cooker is very cool and high-tech but a fuzzy-logic controller for a nuclear plant sounds worrisome.

 

I spent 12 years working in the field of industrial process control, and I well remember Three Mile Island, our country's nearest brush with domestic nuclear disaster.  The supplier of our industrial color CRT's (quite high tech at the time) jokingly attributed the vibrancy of their color phosphors to the company's close proximity to the mutant reactor at Three Mile Island.

 

If I'd trust any company to run a nuclear reactor it would be Zojirushi.  It just might not be cheap.

 

 

Edit:  Amazon informs me the Zojirushi NW-JEC10BA is now up to $829.99.
