LFTRs by Baby Steps


LFTRs by Baby Steps

Some of my readers may wonder why I do not mention the LFTR more often even though Nuclear Green Revolution is committed to the LFTR movement. The answer is, that I believe the development of the LFTR will be incremental and that several and perhaps numerous steps will precede the stage in which the LFTR is under intense development. Those steps will produce Molten Salt Reactors that are not Thorium breeders even though Thorium may be used in the reactor's cores or blankets.

National incentive for nuclear regulation (http://www.world-nuclear-news.org/RS_National_incentive_for_nuclear_regulation_0908131.html)
Greater investment in nuclear regulation will pay dividends for Japan as it moves to restart nuclear reactors. Mobilising more safety review teams could save the country ¥850 billion ($8.8 billion) if it means more reactors can restart sooner.

Fukushima Groundwater Contamination is Not an Actual Emergency

Fukushima Groundwater Contamination is Not an Actual Emergency
 
This past Monday, a Nuclear Regulatory Authority inspector at F. Daiichi told the Press that the contaminated groundwater problem places the station in a “state of emergency”. Is the Pacific Ocean actually being polluted? It doesn’t seem that it is. Is F. Daiichi actually in a “state of emergency”? It’s a speculative state of emergency, to be sure, but not actual.
