What is molten salt reactor in relation to LFTR and vice versa?

I had the good fortune to learn about a different form of nuclear power.

It's going to melt down.

The reactor could melt down.

Its volume increases roughly by a factor of 1000.

We can be competitive with China on making patents on things that weren't thought of in the 50's and 60's. But, if we wait, Americans, Canadians, and Brazilians will be buying LFTR and molten salt technology from China and paying them the royalties.

The nearmeltdown a few weeks back...

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

This is what's called a two fluid, molten salt reactor design.

When we go from solid to liquid, you view it as the heat of melting.

A moral fusion between law and order and clinical care.

You have to heat them up to about 400 degrees Celsius to get them to melt, but that's actually perfect for trying to generate power in a nuclear reactor.

We can fully burn up the thorium in this reactor versus only burning up part of the uranium in a typical light water reactor.

Mr. President, you often say there are no silver bullets to our energy problems.

The liquid fluoride thorium reactor.

My lords, my lords... my lords.

It turned out that thorium was a great fit in this reactor.

We call this whole thing a solution.

We could use thorium about 200 times more efficiently than we're using uranium now.

It's a wax like substance with a melting point of human body temperature, 37 degrees Celsius.

Solution

Michael and I were standing way at the side of the kitchen.

And this whole thing right here, the combination of the water and the sugar molecules, we call a solution.

How did you know that? They did.

Melt Down

Dissolve

They wanted to get to nearly 100 percent of the energy utilization.

So it has less of it.

They didn't have a blanket around it, they just wanted to see if they could get the first step to work, and they were successful.

And a solution has a solvent and the solute.

Remember, sugar is our solute.

Well, it turns into a liquid.

Melted silver?

Seal it.

So let's say we have two solutions that contain some type of solute.

He got enough to build a demonstration reactor that was supposed to be less than 10 megawatts.

Hugely expensive capital costs.

I did research on Wikipedia, on Google, about lotions, creams, the compositions, the melting points, the toxicities

Melting Point K

That's the thing doing the dissolving and the thing that is dissolved is the sugar.

But if you lose power to the LFTR, it shuts itself down all by itself without human intervention.
