Kirk Sorensen basically said the Molten Salt Reactor was cancelled because the nuclear industry did not want it. It would upset their business model and the situation remained the same today. We would have to rely on national research to redevelop it.

No Part Two Coming thanks. At first I thought it would make sense but now I realize the remaining part of the interview does not add anything important.

Nicely adapted. It was a good radio interview and it is nice to be able to point people to a video to keep their attention span ;) Is part deux coming soon? Cheers!

Since I first began reviewing LFTR or Integral Breeder Reactors after hearing a brief mention on late-nite (C2C) radio, I've begun seeing the MANY advantages & benefits, esp. re: how LFTR can help clean-up the spent-fuel & damaged Uranium fuel at Fukushima. I'm absolutely sold on it. LWR or conventional boiling-water reactors are the horrible problem-child legacy of Cold War bomb-making & capitalist exploitation thinking. Solid uranium-fuel processing is a dangerous, reckless rigged-racket scam.

@starmanskye LWR's are an inferior concept and as Kirk pointed out it was more suited to creating an sound business model. But I agree LFTR has too many excellent points to ignore. A "business model" should not be the driving force. The long term savings are big however and if the gov't committed to it they could take control initially and pass on the duties to private corporations after getting a few prototypes out of the way. On the other hand who owns NASA, why can't they do that for energy

Love her question about Thorium. Very cute. "You mean it wouldn't explode?"
