This video tells about the new exciting sodium-cooled, high-assay-low-enrichment-uranium (HALEU) fueled small nuclear reactor that was one of the winners of the DOE Advanced Reactor Demonstration Program competition and will be built over the next few years. It utilizes molten-salt storage of the heat generated by the nuclear reactor, so it can "follow-the-load". This type of system could be the future of nuclear power. The demonstration reactor is planned to be constructed at a retired coal power plant site in Wyoming, so the electrical generation equipment can be re-used.

If you made it this far?... Prof Ruzic has many worthwhile videos. His food irradiation video is fun with strawberries.
I’m still saving up for an F-15.
With this rig, will it be possible to bypass ERCOT?
HALEU
They misspelled SABLE.

This guy recommends you purchase from a country that is hot and dry, like Australia. Low rust!
Well, it otter.
Rats!
Wow.
Everything in Australia IS trying to kill us.
/can barely make a decent paper airplane
If it isn’t made with Thorium, then it is a stupid choice. 5X more Thorium, the US has most of it, and no waste - at all. You can build a plant in a residential neighborhood, make it look like a home, and the only way you’d know it was a LFTR is the steam coming out of the chimney.
:)
Sure it will. How about next couple of decades.

Shameless instigator!
:D

If you and a Texas-size group of wealthy friends pony up about one billion dollars... Might be good to go in Texas?
But you guys are going to be looking for a return on your investment.
For that, you will need to sell over the grid.
That is where the tax will bite you.
this sounds like the bill gates design.
The real future of small nuclear reactors is being done over seas. These are nuclear reactors that will be sited on barges and towed to their sites. They’ll be mass produced and create electricity for .02-.03@kwh—for starters. What they’ll do is enable vertical farms that are 100 stories tall to be built. Cities will become food independent. The demand for these reactors will be enormous.
The best of these reactors will be thorium based. There is currently one thorium reactor being tested in the US national labs. But when it passes tests—it will be produced in Indonesia—where a factory for mass production is already started.
I don’t have a lot of confidence in Bill Gates.

That’s a fake hamster if I ever saw one!
Some kind of commie trick!!!!
Here it is Independence Day, and a commie rat shows up on my screen!!!

NOT A SABLE!!!
IT IS A COMMIE RAT!
AND A DIRTY-LOOKING ONE TOO!
