The truly futuristic stuff is starting to appear. Once people completely move away from the big government thinking on energy I think the flood gates will open with new ideas. On Sat, Sep 4, 2010 at 9:20 AM, Martin Baxter wrote: > > > Took them long enough. > > One of my college instructors had a

Took them long enough. One of my college instructors had a similar thought back in the late 70s. A shame he's passed on. On Sat, Sep 4, 2010 at 8:04 AM, Mr. Worf wrote: > > > Here are details of the subcritical accelerator driven thorium nuclear > reactor designed by Nobel Laureate Carlo Rubbia

[scifinoir2] Subcritical accelerator driven thorium nuclear reactor

Here are details of the subcritical accelerator driven thorium nuclear reactor designed by Nobel Laureate Carlo Rubbia. This reactor was given a supportive article by the UK Te
