Moontanman Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 (edited) Here is a shortened version of an hour long talk on LFTR reactor technology, if you want I do have the link to the long version on my you-tube channel under "safe nuclear power" list.

Moontanman Posted June 16, 2011 Author Share Posted June 16, 2011 Does anyone think we might have made the wrong decision by going to a uranium/plutonium cycle for nuclear power 60 years ago as opposed to the thorium/uranium cycle as proposed in the video?

John Cuthber Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 No. We made the right decision in the circumstances; we just lied about the reason. The first nuclear reactors were built to produce plutonium for making bombs. That's difficult or impossible wit a Th reactor. Whether or not the decision to make atom bombs was a good idea is another matter. Having made the first reactors that way, we just got into a bit of a rut.
