What are your thoughts on the traveling wave reactor?

And I did.

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

I'll show you how. So I put low density

The liquid metal thing inside the box

To the reactor?

Avoid thermal runaway.

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

Reactor bay.

Today I want to tell you about such a device.

LFTR is a molten salt reactor. All LFTRs are molten salt reactors but not all molten salt reactors are LFTRs.

Then what happens to the waste?

The reactor is close.

And what about the nuc nucular reactor in Florida?

And this is what it is.

Reactor, that's right.

(Applause)

Daiichi and they go, Is this the end of nuclear power? and I go, No, it's not the end of nuclear power, there's a zillion other ways to do nuclear power.

Ship. I'm on my way to the reactor.

Why would you want to go to the reactor?

One, it doesn't operate at high pressure.

We haven't even started the American stockpile.

The reactor is shutting down fast.

Seems a snail fell into a French nuclear reactor.

In solids, atoms are stuck together, they can't move.

The traveling wave reactor is another form of a liquid metal fast breeder reactor.

The electrolyte is not a solution of salt and water, but rather salt that's melted.

I have some good friends in nuclear industry. They are very big advocates of the fast breeder reactor.

So what they call Coulomb Barrier is reduced.

But the weight is different.

So I'm really excited.

And number two, do not build a reformer on the ocean.

These are the reactors, very simple, you can see.

This is what drives the design of this building. If this happens, all the steam is captured in this building.

This is the shape of Tokamak, a torus reactor.

And that something we make might decay quickly. And if it was really absorptive and it decayed quickly, the reactor would do... this!

This has a distinction of being the newest nuclear reactor in the United States. This came online in 1996.

That decay heat continued to build.

How long do you think that reactor has been sitting there, huh?

They shut down the reactors.

Reactor timing is offset in the core.

But I know everything there is to know about that damn reactor.

What's your plan?

look. So, a diffuse term is fine.

Gunderson. He has over 40 years of nuclear power engineering experience. And Arnie holds a nuclear safety patent.
