LFTR in 5 Minutes

liquid-fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR)

Found this quite interesting... if you like knowing how stuff works this one is pretty good. Don't know anything on the subject (besides what I watched).

Iv watched that video a least a dozen times. I hope someone builds a working lftr and it's as efficient as they think it will be.

He talks about how safe it is. Just curious but I wonder what the worst thing that could possible happen with a thorium reactor is. Like worst case scenario. Sounds like much less than would happen with uranium .

Can't build LFTRs because it is illegal to reprocess fuel. Thank Jimmy Carter for that.

Oh, and he wasn't a "nuclear engineer" he was just a submarine officer that went through nuclear power school. 6 months of training != 4 years of school.

What an idiot.

So all our reactors are a ~50 year old design that are inefficient turds because of this retard.
