Sherrell Greene on Liquid Chloride Reactors, "Business as Usual," and a second Manhattan Project

Sherrell Greene on Liquid Chloride Reactors, "Business as Usual," and a second Manhattan Project

The third part of my interview Q&A with Sherrell Green focused on questions concerning the future of nuclear technology. My father had been a pioneer in research on Liquid Chloride Reactor technology in the 1950's. Sherrell Greene mention LCR development during out preinterview, so I wanted to ask him some follow up questions. The LCR is a potential competitor to the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor, but it is not clear if itsadvantages would out wight its potential costs. Sherrell notes that, The environment in today’s nuclear energy enterprise is hostile to innovation.
