Dr. kiki's science hour 84 (liquid fluoride thorium reactors) abridged 1/3

Video 2/3 www.youtube.com Dr Kiki's Science Hour 84 (Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors) Abridged 1/3 I've tried to leave the core points and edit out all the fluff as most people do not have the attention span to make it through the entire hour. The key points are: * We built and ran prototype Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTR) a form of molten salt reactor during the 60's. We have built LFTRs before. * Alvin Weinberg the man who invented and held the patents for our existing light water reactors (LWR) spent the rest of his career advocating the use of LFTR technology for it's safety and other advantages over LWR technology. Eventually he was fired for this advocacy even though he invented the LWR. * Once the development of a full scale LFTR design is completed and mass production started we expect a LFTR would be much cheaper to produce than a Light Water Reactor (LWR) we use today. The fuel to run a LFTR would be much more abundant and vastly cheaper than the uranium fuel used in today's light water reactors. * There is 4 times as much thorium as uranium on the planet, and we have thousands of years worth of thorium fuel available just in the USA. It is a waste product from neodymium rare earth mining. Some mines produce enough thorium as waste to meet the power demands of the entire earth for a year, in just one year of mining for neodymium. * Existing LWRs use less than 1% of the mined uranium as fuel, what can't be used for fuel is depleted uranium or radioactive ...

Lftr in 5 minutes - thorium remix 2011

Help propagate LFTR, the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor! Thorium is readily available & can be turned into energy without generating transuranic wastes. Thorium's capacity as nuclear fuel was discovered during WW II, but ignored because it was unsuitable for making bombs. A liquid-fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) is the optimal approach for harvesting energy from Thorium, and has the potential to solve today's energy/climate crisis. LFTR is a type of Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (Th-MSR). This video summarizes over 6 hours worth of thorium talks given by Kirk Sorensen and other thorium technologists. THORIUM REMIX 2011 starts with a 5 minute TL;WL summary, to hold you over until you find your Ritalin.

Thorium remix 2011 (dvd version)

This is the DVD version of the Thorium Remix 2011 in all of it's extended glory. It's as high quality as I could upload. It's ripped directly from the DVD with no transcoding. LFTR is pretty awesome. If you want to share this with your friends I would encourage it. You can also purchase DVDs at wholesale cost from kunaki.com See thoriumremix.com if you want to get some DVDs to share with friends.
