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 nearmeltdown a few weeks back...

It's going to melt down.

The reactor could melt down.

Its volume increases roughly by a factor of 1000.

Parentheses..first.

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 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.

Food rotted in the heat.

And now I'm going to take the most extreme of all steps.

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.

Heat Index

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

Exponential function

This is odd!

This is the problem that we face, due to the doubling caused by Exponential Growth.

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

They want us to rewrite it as the product of positive exponents, so they don't like the fact that we have this negative third power and the 5 to the negative second power so you want to rewrite those as negative exponents.

P for parentheses.

The liquid fluoride thorium reactor.

My lords, my lords... my lords.

Let's calculate how much money we have earned.

Why is that?

I'll do two or three more.

Exponential growth, that's the key here.

If I have the same base 10 right over here, so I can add the exponents.

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

We call this whole thing a solution.

We have one more term.

So the second exponent rule I just taught you actually is no different than that first one.

So we are not going to multiply it with a positive exponent of 10

You add the exponents.

When that ice melts, sea level rises by six meters.

So we know the basic trig functions.

So what's happening?

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