>>[About General Fusion] Radioactive liquid alkali metal exchangers The last time I checked the periodic system, lead was NOT an alkali metal. Lithium? Hell, they talk about using sodium in newer nuclear power plants... (and have some going since long.)

Lithium is hardly worse than sodium. http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf32.html http://www.world-nuclear.org/info/inf32.html ] (FYI, the main criticism of GF I've seen has been about the mechanical building of the pistons.)
