Dr. Joe Bonometti at TEAC3
quote:
Joe also did one of the very first “Tech-Talks” at Google on the subject of LFTR technology.
Comment:
I put in both videos on this post, as well as screenshots to the first one, which is a video that lasts nearly an hour.
Screenshots from the above video:

Easy to find thorium on the moon and Mars. |
You could manufacture your fuel for a return to Earth using energy from Thorium. A transportation system could run on something like this.
 |
The advantages of nuclear vs. solar and/or wind |
Even if you have only terrestrial applications in mind, keep in mind that thorium has advantages here as well.
 |
History of this research: it was originally intended for airplanes! |
When the airplane idea gave way to missiles, they kept researching it in a small reactor and came up with the LFTR.
 |
What is LFTR? Just this: It is better than uranium, and almost as good as fusion could ever be, but it is available NOW. |
 |
What's not to like? |
 |
Uranium Fuel Cycle versus Thorium Fuel Cycle |
The video below is only about 10 minutes in case you are pressed for time:
