Not using a LFTR. Idiots.

Nope, let’s use Uranium/Plutonium. By all means.

This is what makes these two so evil. They COULD use Thorium, which is plentiful, cheap, and the waste product is used in future Thorium LFTRs.

On top, they’re going to use sodium as a coolant. Corrosive - very corrosive.

There is ONE viable small-scale/large output nuclear tech available, and it is Thorium based.

The major drawback of Thorium is that in only produces power.

Existing reactors process Uranium into Plutonium. That’s basically their job. The power is the byproduct, and the pretense for building it.

Little known fact, and the reason why the KGB funded the brainless anti-nuke progs to get nuclear power shut down in the US.

Funny thing is that the only real world way to power electric cars is to go nuke bigly. Solar and wind are a joke, and if you are burning fossil fuel to make the electricity for the car you might as well just burn it in the car in the first place. But the walmartians and wokist factions aren't even up to elementary school math to make science! any more than a useless slogan for them.
