…me mention should be made of fission-fusion hybrids, molten salt reactors (LFTR), accelerator driven systems) which promise at least equivalent cost effective benefit to society as the Integral Fast Reactor and traditional nuclear fuel recycling. I hope the current administration is open to influence and flexible enough to make mid course corrections when it becomes evident that a narrow renewable energy only agenda for America’s energy future is…

…in their waste. Why should we fuss around with separate reprocessing. The LFTR and the TWR appear to deal with weapons proliferation well enough to entertain the idea of placing reactors in developing world countries. Promoting industrialization in countries with high birth rates may be an effective way to deal with the over population problem. The prospect for producing a reactor that can produce energy cheaper than coal speaks to the climate ch…

…, it’s now or never for an early introduction of the first-of-a-kind civil LFTR and once that step is taken, it will be like lighting the blue-touchpaper for LFTR manufacture. Miss this chance and it’s decades of open-cycle uranium use in an even more atrophied nuclear industry. harrywr2 With the roof blown off the building the odds of hydrogen building up to explosive levels are pretty low. Jeff Schmidt Hey guys, just a bit of media coverage upda…

…f smaller plants in *substitution* for larger ones, that is, say, 12 100MW LFTRs instead of, say, one 1200 MW LFTR. There are, generally, way too many assumptions made by small-only advocates about the ability to ‘mass produce’ smaller reactors that per unit of energy output (UEO) it will somehow be cheaper, based solely on the idea of manufacturing core components. I think this is naive. There is FAR more that goes into a reactor/turbine/generato…
