Back in college I researched history of nuclear energy in the US during the 50s and 60s Thorium reactors were much further ahead and being funded by the government Then one Naval officer made the case to arm subs with nukes Funding for thorium dried up and was funneled into less safe breeder style reactors Unless this is funding thorium reactors, I’ll be hard pressed to see this as anything but a stealthy ploy to reinvent weapons production. What with the Orange Orangutan pissing off the world, championing Space Farce, some paranoids in DC probably think we need to build more nukes to match NK and Iran.
