- iSnow 10y agoIn contrast to fusion (which is 20 years away and always has been), working Thorium reactors and safe disposal of nuclear wast is 50 years away. Since about 50 years.
- baldfat 10y agoI don't see how a better Nuclear plant even touches fusion. Fusion is sort of like the perpetual motion machine, nearly free energy.
- jlebrech 10y agobecause Thorium is pretty much free too, as it's everywhere. and meltdowns just stop the reaction and you can recommission the system easily, or just stop the meltdown before it happens.
