Sounds like breeder-reactors may be coming back into view.

It would be great news if we even had the ability to build Nuclear Power plants in the US anymore. Thanks to the Greenie-Eco-Nazis this technology probably won’t matter.
Nuclear power is already safer and cleaner and we’re not allowed to run the country on it.....so what if there might be a safer and cleaner fuel it’s still NUCLEAR POWER and the enviro-marxists will stifle it like everything else.

Cobalt thorium G? :)
the DUmmies are quoting some Norwegian about how thorium is NOT an enviro-friendly alternative. I have little faith in anything Norwegian these days.

Are there still folks out there who believe our leaders are actually interested in energy solutions?
They WANT to stop industrialization, production, and anything else that might “risk” population growth!

The LFTR (Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor) design makes much more sense than even the latest generation light water reactors or pebble bed reactors. The technology has been in existence since the 50's and there is an abundance of thorium available. Even the "greenies" should support this concept, as the nuclear waste is minimal, and rapidly decaying (relatively speaking)
I am glad this is finally getting into the mainstream press.
Here is a long, but interesting lecture on this technology. click here

its most common isotopic form, thorium-232, can be converted by irradiation to uranium-233, which is suitable for use in nuclear fuels
Thanks Willie Green.
