And here's how you do it.

You hit the salt with fluorine gas, and what'll happen is... There's uranium tetrafluoride, four fluoride ions, and there's uranium hexafluoride, six fluoride ions.

It's not based on water cooling and it doesn't use solid fuel. It's based on fluoride salts as a nuclear fuel.

Uranium hexafluoride is a gas.

You see, hydrofluoric acid won't eat through plastic.

They didn't know if it would work, so this built this proof of principle reactor, called the Aircraft Reactor Experiment.

Understood.

He's a fool.

And now you hit it with a little hydrogen gas.

I do not

Why is the federal government not accelerating research into fluid fuel molten salt reactors that run on thorium?

This is a way to get your uranium product to come out of the blanket and leave everything behind.

No idea what you're talking about.

The reactor that we worked on is cooled by a liquid salt, a nuclear fuel in the form of solid pebbles.

You monster!

What foreign compound?

You're a monster!

A freak!

It's a monster. We can do it!

Chemicals.

They don't have to use water for coolant and there's nothing in the reactor that's going to make a big change in density.

You wanted to lose a guy in ten days.

We already know that chemicals

So if these letters stood for areas of interest, do you know what i mean?

You take this stream of this blanket salt off and you put it in this fluoride volatility column.

Simulator for chemical mixtures

Foul stench. Dirty creatures.

Sounds like a real bogeyman.

Baseball bats and bogeymen.

You damn freak!

It was not always so. Many things change.

He's freaking killing us.

And he had to close his eyes, it's so disgusting, and the smell and everything.

And after all this, he still didn't leave you?

Don't be so sure.

You said certain return on energy efficiency.

Whoop! It's in solution now.

First into U233, and then into energy through fission. Now of course you're using up some thorium doing this.

Humpf. Still saying these incomprehensible reasons...

Oh that sounds nice, dear...

Well, maybe it's some thing.

It's an incendiary chemical.

The thing on the totem.

The building is a monstrous structure.

So you can sit there and pound thorium with fluoride all you want. It's not going to change.
