Sorry to tell you your fist point has been known for over 100 years and is how we have been electrifying the planet. Good thing you're catching up though!

Second point... Same thing countries have been doing this with water for decades, now were "discovering worse ways" to do the same thing

Ontario Canada has been making 80% of our electricity from our nuclear plants for the past 50 years with 0 deaths and less contamination from radiation and other particulate matter than burning shit to produce electricity. And on top of that we had nuclear plants for making medical isotopes used in all kinds of medical procedures which can not be made any other ways.

Thorium reactors only put out trans uranics that only last 300 years rather than 15,000 and can also desalinate water or capture CO2 from the atmosphere?

Oh and it can use the waste from other nuclear plants that last for 15,000 years to produce electricity and make them degrade in 300 years.

We can make all those type of transport better with clean electricity made in a Molten Salt Reactor

Sure I'll Open my mind to better ways to make electricty, this includes nuclear

Here learn something

facts mother fucker

What facts have you provided? 0

China currently is off of what designs are left that were made at Oak Ridge in the 60's. They are doing the work that should have been completed in the 1970's at Oak Ridge.

Energy independence free from petroleum that could help desalinate water and capture CO2 from the atmosphere mean anything to you?

How about using nuclear waste from light / heavy water reactors to make more energy? Or making isotope that can better kill cancer without harming the rest of your body?

Yes it may be hard but it was proven to be feasible whether you like it or not by people much smart then you or I and is leaps and bounds easier than fusion hence the reason for them building one in the 1960's.

If MSR are not feseable then why did the creator of both want MSR to be built instead of light water?

It is entirely able to be built and one albeit not a full on breeder reactor was built and ran for 15000 hours.

Just saying it won't work doesn't make it so.

When the world starts buying these from China I'll make sure to say I fucking told ya so

In the 1950/60's which country was working on MSR? China is using the plans from Oakridge to build their current MSR.
America was the only country to do any work on one. The Atomic Energy Commission cut funding and this is why people think MSR are a failure

I'm no longer going to argue with an idiot

Its Lockheed, that's gonna get greenlit faster than a fly finding fresh dung

What other country was working on MSR?

Yeah use your brain man

Need to find a working fusion reactor? Look up.

Oh me so smart. Did we creatbthe sun? Seriously bad argument. Best solar panels are only 30% efficient.

Also things that are worth it are hard, and expensive. Look at the average cost of a Light or heavy water reactor. Another moot argument

Yes salts are corrosive but that's what Hasteloy-N solves along with Inconel

And maintenance can be done by robots as they currently do in current reactors where the radation is so bad humans can't go there.

You are the worst at this

Just the fact that the US govt couldn't make bombs with MSR's so they cut all funding and this causes people to think the technology doesn't work when in reality it would destroy current monopolies because it does work and is crazy cheap. Would also allow for these to be built almost anywhere because it doesn't need water to operate like Light water reactors

It was an experiment that was only a part reactor hence the (E) on MSR. They still had to build the "blanket" portion of the reactor.

Also the inventor of the light water reactor which is primarily used across the world and even influenced the CANDU reactors was designed by Alven Wineberg, the same person who designed the MSRE and was in favor or MSRs in general

And how long have fusion dipshits been spouting their crap? 1938 was the first attempt. Look how far we've got so far? There was a working MSR(E) that produced 10MW through out the 1960's but we are the crackpots. Gotcha...
