Molten salt breeder reactors using thorium would be grand. The US had an experimental MSR operating in the 60’s. It’s operation was a success and no major show stoppers were identified. It’s a real pity that this technology wasn’t pursued back then.

This makes me wonder what ever happened to the Hyperion small-scale 25MW nuke power-generator from several years ago...
It will turn into helium and escape into space.
Not if we catch it in a whole bunch of rubber balloons. Then we could get together and get drunk and inhale it and read DU posts in Donald Duck voices.
Dang it, if it's to save the Earth, count me IN!
