A controlled reactor comprises a reactor core thermally coupled to one or more heat pipes and an active cooling loop. A fluid may be circulated through the active cooling loop. A heat exchanger is thermally coupled to the active cooling loop and extracts heat from the fluid as the fluid is circulated through the active cooling loop. A heating system may be provided to deliver the heat extracted by the heat exchanger to a community. A thermoelectric generator may be provided to convert heat extracted by the heat pipes to electricity for delivery to the community.
