They may never have provided any electricity in the first place. I have
read, at length, some nuclear engineering papers, concerning accelerator
driven reactors, subcritical thorium, and bluntly, they are like fusion
reactors, they don't exist. There is research in a couple of places like the
UK and Belgium, maybe India and China, but its been over-sold, as we don't
have solid working models to evaluate. The closest working reactors would be
Canadian CANDU reactors.
Taking this attitude, we would never have discovered powered flying
machines, or invented agriculture. Assuming the things would work in theory,
as far as we know, then we need to at least build a prototype before
deciding it can't be done.
The MSRE & MSBR experimental molten salt reactors operated at Oak Ridge for
almost ten years. These were LFTR reactor types, and as far as I know the
only LFTR reactors ever actually built.
