…s to Congress as “spent” fuel burners that will (eventually) significantly reduce the amount of actual long-term civilian power waste. But its something that will require Congressional action 😮 GEH has similar proposal before Her Majesty’s Government, where it is under review.

Engineer-Poet I’m digging through that page a bit at a time, and so far as I’ve gone it’s about using a LFTR as a thermal actinide burner with a separate thorium breeding blanket to make seed U-233; basically, getting rid of the long-lived LWR waste problem and simultaneously starting LFTRs. Nothing under said program would prevent the use of high-enrichment urani…
