We can harness the energy of Thorium using Molten Salt Reactors. Thorium is an amazingly abundant energy source, but it presents unique challenges that make it a poor fit for conventional nuclear reactors. The fuel must be repeatedly reprocessed, resulting in a very inefficient process.
Molten Salt Reactors are a very different concept from our existing nuclear reactors. The fuel is liquid, not solid. The coolant is near atmospheric pressure, not extremely-high pressure. The coolant is chemically stable, not an easily broken covalent bond. With an appropriate reactor/fuel combination, a Molten Salt Reactor can even generate energy while producing no long-lasting nuclear waste.
By combining two proven concepts: Thorium Breeding, and Liquid Fission, we can transform the abundant resource which is Thorium- into pollution-free energy.
► If you think clean, abundant energy is important, consider supporting future iterations of this message. This is the 3rd iteration, and it exists because viewers of previous iterations paid-it-forward. Supporters help financially, and provide critical feedback on pre-release edits.
If you peer-review an upcoming THORIUM REMIX and think it sucks, you can cancel your pledge before I collect. If you do like it, I hope you'll continue your support indefinitely. This message can be improved continually, and you will enjoy a better viewing experience should you choose to re-watch in the future.
