Thorium Reactors Seen As Promising For World’s Long Term
Energy Needs:
"A nuclear energy concept that was demonstrated and abandoned half a century ago is
at the heart of an effort by a Livermore physicist and several colleagues to provide
energy at affordable cost to a growing world population.
The concept, called molten salt technology, uses both thorium and uranium to produce
heat energy from a fuel configuration that is “walk-away safe,” according to Livermore
physicist, Ralph Moir."
