As I sit here in the middle of the night babysitting a Westinghouse PWR at 100% power I have a good preliminary opinion of Thorium based on the link you provided. Sounds interesting.
The future? There are holes in the ground down the hill that are supposed to grow up to be TWO AP-1000's. They filled in another hole a couple of decades ago a stones throw from here that was supposed to be UNIT#2.
Well, I hope that baby doesn’t get cranky tonight.
I’ve been strongly pro-nuclear for many years (see my webpage on nuclear power at http://RussP.us/nucpower.htm). When I discovered this Thorium technology a couple months ago, I was amazed. It sounds almost too good to be true. Check it out, and spread the word!
