| I find it strange that Molten Salt Reactors - and in particular a local homegrown MIT startup, Transatomic, has not featured more under these Climate CoLab pages ... with their take on the Molten Salt Reactor concept. Thorium Molten Salt Reactors have to be recognised as the 21st Century Energy & Climate Solution to get around our 20th Century Paradox where we have elementary issues surrounding current Nuclear Energy technology. We should question the intransigence to move towards a more beneficial nuclear technology based on Thorium MSRs, the obvious solution to rid us of the existing pollution paradox, where the lack of a more civil minded and effective nuclear technology results in a default reliance on fossil fuel – ironically allowing it to prevail and cause pollution due to inept nuclear strategies. |
