Energy From Thorium: A Nuclear Waste Burning Liquid Salt Thorium Reactor

Here are the original videos: The Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor: What Fusion Wanted To Be link Aim High: Using Thorium Energy to Address Environmental Problems link Lessons for the Liquid-Fluoride Thorium Reactor (from history) ▶ this video

However the events unfold I wonder if this will cause more nations to investigate other reactor technologies like Thorium. The abundance of Thorium and its inherent safety mechanisms (as a liquid at least) make the technology very exciting. Check out the Google Tech Talk ▶ this video

> Of course, if we had fusion we could easily solve this problem, but that's a good 40 years away. I'm not sure if Fusion would be much better than fission (which isn't to say that it's not good, just that it doesn't seem nearly as much of an improvement as some would want us to believe (many of those people writing grant proposals)): link What I'd really like to see is a liquid-fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR).

He should probably draw a liquid fluoride thorium reactor, then.. (If you don't know about the LFTR, check out this talk by Kirk Sorensen: ▶ this video )

One of the proponents of Thorium nuclear came to google to give a tech talk. The video describing the technology can be found here, ▶ this video
