Eh. Just like the first reactor, this is going to be a toy for scientists.
Thorium reactors are a dead end. Just keep building regular PWRs, operating on regular fuel (maaaaaybe MOX fuel). That's it.
It's a proven, scalable method.
- merb 2y agoI‘m not in favor of nuclear at all. But I do not like the term ‚are a dead end‘. If everybody would do that we would probably not have blue led‘s and that would’ve hindered the growth of many modern computing devices.
