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.

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

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.

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

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.

Jasmine bath salt, sir.

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.

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

Demerol is a morphine sulfate. It is soluble in water.

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

It's going to melt down.

I made the battery all liquid

In the base of your cranium.

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

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.

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

Hugely expensive capital costs.

The reactor could melt down.

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

Why is it going to increase the pH? Because this OH.

I have an acid here, and what I'm actually going to titrate it with, or the reagent that I'm going to add to it The reagent is essentially a reactant that, when you view it this way, that you're adding to the solution. So it's the titrant.

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

Plus your chlorine anion in an aqueous solution.

Its volume increases roughly by a factor of 1000.

Have you learned what you wanted to learn? and they go We're actually here to learn about the molten salt reactor.

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.

Then, fill the container with tap water.

The nearmeltdown a few weeks back...

And we know, of course, that since it's a strong acid it disassociates completely.

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

You said certain return on energy efficiency.

A moral fusion between law and order and clinical care.

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

My lords, my lords... my lords.

So HCl in an aqueous solution or a solution of water disassociates completely into hydrogen ions in an aqueous solution, which is really hydronium.

We call this whole thing a solution.

This takes energy, producing clean water.

Salt!

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

In water cooled reactors, you generally have to provide power to the plant to keep the water circulating and to prevent a meltdown.

leads to sodium well, we could think of it a lot of different ways, but we could think of it as sodium ion aqueous plus chloride anions this is a cation and anion aqueous, so it gets dissolved.

liquid metal at the top, put a high density liquid metal at the bottom, and molten salt in between.
