Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment, ORNL |
Did you know about the Waste Annihilating Molten Salt (WAMS) reactor idea?
I didn't, though it sounds similar in principle - passively safe - to the molten
salt thorium reactor which ran for 4 years at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Why aren't these means of both generating massive amounts of power plus ridding the world of
highly active nuclear waste at the top of the energy agenda?
