[ RadSafe ] Molten Salt Reactor

[Sander Perle]

Hi Joe,

I had a consulting agreement with Mirion and exercised it for 5 months after
my March 1 retirement. I elected to terminate the agreement earlier this
month in order to pursue other opportunities and new challenges, and by
terminating all association with Mirion, this eliminated “perceptions of
conflict of interest” held by some of the companies I am currently in
discussions with. Mirion is a great company and their current executives do
a fine job managing the company, without my participation. While I miss the
interaction with my colleagues and friends after 18 years, it was time to
move on.

Regards,

Sandy

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.
