The liquid fluoride thorium reactor.

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

Even the plutonium inside the reactor is what's called reactor grade plutonium, which isn't suitable.

A big pressurized water reactor vessel.

I'm working on that exact reactor.

This is a small modular reactor.

So it's a molten salt reactor.

And this reactor doesn't use water.

They shut down the main reactor.

This was the Hanford reactor in Washington.

Thorium reactor that Nathan Myhrvold's involved in.

This region right here is the reactor.

Compared to the reactor 3 building, the removal of debris from the reactor 4 building is making headway.

That's what makes it that you cannot burn up uranium 238 in a thermal spectrum reactor like a water cooled reactor like a CANDU or like a water reactor.

Heat was not being removed from the reactor.

The shaft leads directly to the reactor system.

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

Why weren't they using the power from the reactor to run the pumps? Because the reactor had been turned off.

An earthquake damaged a nuclear reactor somewhere in Asia, causing an overheating to the reactor and infecting the surrounding area.

Let me introduce you to a typical nuclear reactor.

The reactor vessel is about nine inch thick steel.

What are your thoughts on the traveling wave reactor?

It is a particularly difficult implementation of that reactor.

I mean, the reactor just doesn't get that hot.

This is the shape of Tokamak, a torus reactor.

That is the inside of my nuclear fusion reactor.

So that's my fusion reactor in the background there.

In this kind of reactor, you can't do that.

This is the reactor itself, the reactor vessel up here is where all the control rods slide in and out of the core.

The reactor was operating under the ice 18 months later.

We have developed the reactor, which is like a proton.

The magnetic field goes beyond the boundary of the reactor.

This whole station is basically a big fusion reactor. Right?

There seems to be a problem with the main 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.

So they began working on this high temperature reactor, and here was their notion. This reactor was going to produce this high temperature heat.

That reactor is already hard to build in first place, with the traveling wave they make it even more complicated by saying we are going to leave the fuel in the reactor for the lifetime of the reactor.

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

And all of a sudden, pressure is lost in the reactor.

The molten salt reactor experiment was the core part of it.

Weinberg was also the original inventor of the pressurized water reactor.

This is a footage of inside of the reactor 4 building.

And that bio reactor will lay down in the wound bed.

That is me at the control panel of my fusion reactor.

So, when we increase it beyond the boundary of the reactor.
