It’s time to do a musk on the useless Washingtonian bureaucracy. Fire 90% of the useless f^%#’s

But no. Washington needed plutonium for BOMBS. Instead of saving the world, Washington and Moscow threatened it with nuclear Armageddon

50 years late on all of this. Can you imagine where the world would be if they had NOT fired Alvin and given oak ridge money to solve the materials problem and fine tune the fuel/coolant reactor specifications? Fukushima and Chernobyl avoided? Maybe? 80% of electricity carbon free?

Unlike this MIT professor I do NOT wish for high temperature gas but super critical co2. Seems to me to be much lower unit time cost for cheaper electricity and process heat. These MIT people don't seem to care about raising people's living standard world wide.

Thanks for the video, I have some questions I’d like to ask. Isn’t FLiBe in itself a good moderator? I ask because I noticed that both lithium and beryllium are “lower z” than carbon, but the old MSRE video I saw showed a graphite moderator in the core. Also, could colloidal carbon suspended in the fuel salt act as a moderator? It sounds like it could handle radiation damage better than solid graphite. Has anybody ever entertained that idea before? And, of the possible fuel salt combinations you showed, I noticed that beryllium was substituted out of many of them, but lithium still composed a lot of the fuel salts. Why is that? Is it a toxicity issue? Does lithium have benefits over beryllium? And what benefits does beryllium have?

Alameda should instantly move to molten salt thorium fission reactors and lithium enrichment. The work for these money eaters should be to be working on the chemical processes to keep the molten salt clean from reaction products for medical and reactor utility.

Since Oak Ridge has such a massive experience with centrifuge enrichment of u238 to u235 imagine how much easier it would be to enrich li6 to li7. You would think it would easily produce tons of li7 for fission reactors like molten salt and tons of li6 for fusion reactors and the bombs they seem to focus on. I have no interest in the destruction of humanity with abominations of desecration but I do have sincere interest in lithium 7 for fission reactors and keeping the plants clean which with tritium you will never do no matter how good you are.

How does the Florida based ThorCon's 500MWe Liquid metal Thorium ion molten sodium fluoride salt burner energy converters bult in double hulled barge-like units compare with these designs?

Not much about the functioning Thorium molten salt reactor (T-MSR) in the Gobi Desert?

Cleared up a few aspects of the industry.
