That gives a lot of credence to Burt Rutan’s comment about NASA being pronounced “NaySay.” NASA dissed the technology but the Chinese didn’t...now we find out it’s real and we’ve lost 5 years of R&D time.
As if Barry would’ve let them do anything with it.

Happens all the time. The DOE is currently helping the Chinese develop a lftr thorium reactor that will revolutionize the world of nuclear energy by collapsing costs. The first prototypes of the reactors were developed in the late 60s and then shelved ostensibly because they weren’t dual use. The Chinese picked up the plans several years ago as they were available to everyone. There are currently several US companies looking for funding to develop a prototype. But the feds are not helping. The canadian government is helping their lftr thorium start up.
eaw. The whole bidness makes me sic.
