because it cannot be used to produce weapons material so it was not pursued during the cold war.
And now its not pursued as it should be because its EVIL NUCLEAR.

Niger has some pretty nasty incidents. Hundreds of people die in explosions every year there.

Yeah. Either causing or just exploiting holes in pipelines, everyone gathers to get some free cooking oil, and then someone lights up and hundreds of people go up in flames. Crazy stuff.

This is the kind of thing that should get international attention.

Not related to the thread, but I have a CSB about throium reactors.

I met one of the the old MSR guys from Oak Ridge at a local beer garden. Dude's from Mississippi and has a total southern accent... but he's a PhD in nuclear engineering. It was amazing to hang out and just talk with this guy. He was the youngest guy on the MSRE team. He mentioned that he's quickly getting bored with retirement... I just hope that someone finds work for him.

>On October 8, 2009 about 03:00 Greenwich time, an atmospheric fireball blast was observed and recorded over an island region of Indonesia. The blast is thought to be due to the atmospheric entry of a small asteroid about 10 meters in diameter that, due to atmospheric pressure, detonated in the atmosphere with an energy of about 50 kilotons (the equivalent of 110 million pounds of TNT explosives).

>we would expect a fireball event of this magnitude about once every 2 to 12 years on average.

I get the impression these diagrams are just preaching to the choir, not pitching to educated professional investors in competition with other investment opportunities.

Going to need a little more information to support those outlandish claims. Like a spider diagram with different major factors contributing to the costs + miscellaneous/unpredictable factors for all 3 reactor types.
