Manage episode 397906427 series 2938059
- The technology can be deployed in a range of places
- moltexFLEX is designed for clean energy in a flexible manner beyond baseload to provide demand following capability
- What has prevented molten salt reactors from being deployed mainstream for this long?
- Nuclear is very safe, more people died from mining in south Africa than from Fukushima accident
- At High temperatures, molten salt looks like water and it freezes quickly when in contact with a cold surface
- moltexFLEX originally intended for ships is low cost and competitive with fossil fuels: £30m for 60M built within 2 years to scale; powering average 40million UK homes
- To achieve net zero by 2050 we need 1.8GW of energy everyday
- The nuclear industry has been too much focused on safety compared to aero industry, we need to focus on the benefits
- Know where your atoms are - this ensures security and safeguards
- View a tour of the moltex labs.
- The path to clean energy transition by 2050 is challenging, we need to work hand in hand to bring it to reality.
