Meanwhile the Molten Salt Thorium Reactor technology can be implemented TODAY, at a cost per megawatt cheaper than coal, and with only 1% of the high-level waste that the uranium/pressurized-water plants generate. Much safer, too, since the MSTR design doesn’t require power to run massive pumps if it has to be shut down. “Fukushima Syndrome” just isn’t possible if an MSTR plant is properly designed.
