Molten Salt Reactors vs India’s Advanced Heavy Water Reactor
Molten Salt Reactors have greater safety and lower construction costs than India’s Advanced Heavy Water Reactor.
What is a LFTR? Molten-fueled, salt-cooled nuclear power
MSRs can’t have loss of coolant accidents, can’t have high-pressure explosions, produce no CO2, use uranium or thorium as fuel, eliminate long-term nuclear waste, are cleaner & cost less than coal or oil.
Washington Post, Nuclear power entrepreneurs push thorium as a fuel
Comments on good Washington Post article about LFTR (but sloppy about specifying whether talking about solid-fuel or molten-fuel reactors).
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.
Downsides of LFTRs
What are the Downsides of Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors? There are some people who definitely would not want them, why?
