thorium reactors have been proven for years. in the 50s they were designed for submarines. which are at the time consider the state of the art vehicles even with oil based fuels. nuclear tech was just on the rise because of ww2. we knew that it was only time before other caught up with us. and in the 50s they proved many different ways to make nuclear energy. the ones that made it are the most overly engineered tech to this day. so excessively complicated all to maintain the needed weapon grade fuels. the methods we in the U.S. use only 1% of the energy there. cars uses at least 20 to 30% of there energy. all meltdowns ever happened are becuase of using the reactors used to make weapons. they take 1 % of the power and the rest is left to decay for a billion years. but there is a real nowday solution for this. use thorium reactors. there just a water boiler thats sealed in. thoriums to weak to meltdown. but it can boil fucking water all day for years. plus after its running all the waste weve built up for years oddly can be reused for the other 99% of energy in them after there running.

all the issues i read about (recently ) arent issues just technical challenges. those are called jobs to the right people. and as for price the nuclear industry calls that pocket change
Hurdles to new reactor technology in the U.S. include the rigid, and largely antiquated, regulations with which reactor builders must comply. These regulatory requirements were enacted decades ago and require any energy provider wanting to build a reactor to use decades-old technology rather than newer, more efficient, and in some cases safer innovations. Why is this the case? Because the anti-nuclear groups will scream bloody murder if any regulations are changed; even if changed for the better! These groups do not want better nuclear electricity generation; they want NO nuclear electricity generation, and will use the general ignorance of the populace to portray any new technology as "caving in to Big Energy" or some other rubbish rhetoric designed to keep people from supporting any clean and safe energy production technology other than solar and wind.
fuck i got read again. give me a few days
This is very interesting, I myself have been doing some research on Thorium reactors(though I only know a little bit about them).
Would you say that there are any disadvantages to Thorium power? Some of the disadvantages with Thorium reactors that I've read about is that breeding can be slow and that it can be very expensive due to reprocessing and the high cost of the materials. Would you say these are valid critiscisms?
well not as bad as you would think, they even debate them as cars. its thorium salt dissolved in water. thats it. we decided no bc when dont want to set off there nuke detectors . ps we were thinking of ways to make free electricity. my friend is a industrial electrician
Making a homemade one? Isn't that dangerous? lol
there so fucking simple me and my friend have debated trying to make one
I've honestly never heard of thorium reactors, I'll have to do more research on them.
