Small Fission / Fusion reactors - Thanks for Windows Bill Gates.

I bought a documentary about ten years ago about the advantages of molten salt reactors, which is what I believe he is speaking of. The documentary illustrated that the largest advantage to this type of reactor was that it could use our spent nuclear fuel rods as fuel again for itself. The only by-product were small amounts of high grade nuclear material that the medical industry is in desperate need of. The other large advantage was that there was zero chance of a meltdown, because the process would not create a thermal runaway situation. I haven't listened to it completely yet, but I haven't even heard a mention of this...very interesting.

How did he solve the corrosion problem for the pipes in the salt reactors? Is the salt mixture chemically balanced while running or is it a half measure where the fission material is separate? Do they plan on expanding fuel to old nuclear waste and thorium? Feel like the reporters questions dropped the ball here

There is not much I seen here that was not a lie. I agree that we need to go nuclear but why do we need all this new energy capacity? Is there not a better way?

If they could make it safe with redundancy backup systems, and that sort of thing and make it able to withstand a strike from an aircraft or a missile or a bomb ect lets face it folks there’s a lot of crazy people in this world. Do they have a contingency plan for earthquakes and if it’s near the coast, could it survive a tsunami and then I think they better have a really good way of dealing with the waste right now we don’t have a very good way of dealing with nuclear waste if the world was a more peaceful place and we had a safe reactor and a safe way of storing the waste then I would say yes go for it by all means nuclear is cleaner but I don’t think we’re responsible enough to handle it right now. perhaps we will be in the future.
