[ RadSafe ] Molten Salt Reactor

[JPreisig at aol.com]

Sandy,
 
     You may be right!!!   Hey, if consulting  with Mirion is out, go with 
Landauer or someone else???

Joe,  assuming that these reactors are actually built, I seriously doubt  
that
shipping spent fuel into the USA will be permitted. It is a  possibility 
that
this could occur in other countries. For example, Fran e  already operates a
fuel reprocessing facility. In any event, I have doubts  that these molten
salt reactors will ever be built in the USA, due to  regulatory issues as
well as the financial demands. Remember the floating  off-shore power
reactors that were greatly discussed but never got off the  ground.

Radsafe,

Hmmmmm.  Build a few of these in the  USA, elsewhere and let  other
reactors ship their spent fuel to these molten salt   reactors.

Here is  a link I posted on  LinkedIn last   night:
http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/187917-startup-gets-funding-for-its-molte
n-salt-nuclear-reactor-that-eats-radioactive-waste

This   morning CNN¹s Fareed Zakaria GPS TV interviewed Dr. Leslie  Dewan,
CEO,
Transatomic Power Corporation. She graduated from MIT with a  Ph.D.  in
nuclear engineering, with a research focus on  computational  nuclear
materials. She also holds S.B. degrees from MIT  in mechanical  engineering
and nuclear engineering. Before starting  her Ph.D., she worked  for a
robotics company in Cambridge, MA, where  she designed  search-and-rescue
robots and equipment for in-field  identification of  biological, chemical,
and nuclear weapons. Leslie  has been awarded a  Department of Energy
Computational Science  Graduate Fellowship and an MIT  Presidential
Fellowship. She was named  a TIME Magazine "30 People Under 30  Changing the
World" in December  2013, an MIT Technology Review "Innovator  Under 35" in
September  2013, and a Forbes "30 Under 30" in Energy in  December 2012.

I  recommend that if you have the time, you should review  the article  as
well
as the interview.
