Ep. 2 | The Best Nuclear Reactor: Light Water VS Molten Salt
Manage episode 281233908 series 2847498
If Thorium is so great why haven’t we used it before? Is there a better and safer way to tap fission? If so how close are we to achieving our clean energy future? Today we get the answer.
We discuss:
-The best nuclear reactor to utilize Thorium
-Light water reactors: the history, development, benefits, and drawbacks of it.
-Why light water reactors are still the standard despite better options available
-Light water reactor vs molten salt reactor
-Roadblocks in building and implementing molten salt reactors (spoilers: government regulations)
-Recent developments and the future of molten salt reactor development.
