I know you guys love Thorium reactors, I was wondering, can they be built small enough to power a ship or submarine? Is it safe to do so?

I figured signing this is right up your alley /sci/

FLiBe - fluor, lithium, beryllium - salt used in LFTR.

Fellow /sci/entists, I am going to atend a debate on nuclear power tomorrow and I need pro nuclear arguments and points. Obviously I plan on going on about LFTRs, relative safety compared with other methods of generating electricity and that kind of stuff, but any extra points would be great.

Pro nuclear thread.

Hey /sci/

So, Thorium reactors seem to be a good way to go. Based on what I've seen, these reactors can be made smaller due to the reduced cooling requirements.

So that being said, would it be possible to scale it down to power a house or an apartment building?

Basically build a micro thorium reactor in a sub-basement?

Tried /r/ but no one could help me

Anyone have that informational picture describing the benefits of thorium reactors?

Thanks for your time.

If thorium reactors are so good, then why do I hardly ever hear of them on news, and hardly anybody knows anything about them even in the government energy agencies (except for the Chinese one)?

We should faze out our current reactors in favour of these.

so /sci/

The more I look at this the more I see it as being a Good Thing (tm)

Points to bear in mind are:

1) Thorium is plentiful
2) 1 Tonne Th produces as much energy as 200 tonne of U
3) Will safely burn up proliferation materials
4) LTFR design is inherently self regulating and therefore safest form of Nuclear power.
5) LTFR would be smaller, cheaper and safer.


So what's not to get excited about. Cleaner energy than fossil fuels is a 21st century problem no?
