Evaluate new LFTR technology (it is not LWR or PWR)
Many blogs make statements “about LFTR” that are really about solid-fueled reactors. Be clear what technology you are reading about, when evaluating LFTRs.

How might Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors fail, or be attacked by terrorists? Can’t have core meltdowns, loss of coolant, or high pressure explosions…
What are the Downsides of Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors? There are some people who definitely would not want them, why?
Solving Technical Challenges in Building a Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor. Many were solved in the 1960s, building the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment. Others have been solved since then. We still need to make engineering decisions, and test materials.
