| #3 So how does thorium reactor technology compare to the technology currently in use in the USA? This sort of thing never gets adequate discussion. The greenies and the Global Warmists have sucked all the oxygen out of the discussion space. Maybe things will change after rolling blackouts become common in the USA. |

| #2 A nasty liquid sodium cooled reactor is buried just south of Lincoln NE. Core was removed. It was designed under Atoms for Peace to purify food. |

| #1 we've had pro Thorium Reactor (aka Molton Salt Reactor) news on Rantburg before Several countries are working on it. Yes there are advantages (safety, thermal efficiency, plentiful supply of Thorium); however there are some disadvantages also not mentioned in the American Thinker article, e.g., the complexity of the operational chemical management of the reactor and the long term potential for corrosion. |
