  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?

Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors

submitted by GeeSussFreeK

1 decade 2 years 2 months 3 weeks ago

"Kirk gave a brief overview of Molten Salt Reactors (MSR) and specifically Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTR). Half of the time was spent fielding questions from the Calgary students."

Really hope there is something to this technology besides empty promises. We are to smart to be burning coal, and solar/wind power is still a joke ( a bad joke that is pretty destructive to the natural landscape).

This talk has lots of stuff you already heard if you watched the remix video (as it is a clip video with this and other videos as it sources), but this is the entire talk at the MRU.

Learned of these as a Navy Nuke in the 80s. Can't believe there aren't hundreds of plants around the country/world by now.

Too much infrastructure built around burning fossil fuels and light water reactors. I hope once those technologies start yielding less and less rewards we'll be forced to invest in alternatives. Maybe I am melodramatic, but I think we're heading for another dark age. Fusion and Thorium might be light at the end, but I don't think we'll get them until we've lived in the dark for a while.

Forgot to post this. On the sides, if you go to "Thorium and the Liquid-Fluoride Reactor: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" under pages, you can get a better look at all the slides he uses.
