[3] Kirk Sorensen for harnessing the power of the atom using Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTR).
LFTR offers greater efficiency and safety over today's operating reactors, and even proposed light water / boiling water reactors. LFTR also provides spare processes heat and valuable isotopes as a byproduct of normal operation, something today's reactors can not, due to their low operating temperature.
Topics emphasized by Kirk at TEAC4:
- Economic and political situation of medical isotope production and applications.
- Use as a reliable energy production method of US military bases explained in their jargon.
- Desalination enabled by the high temperatures possible when using ionic salts instead of covalently bonded molecules to transfer heat.
