I’m currently watching videos that are being published from interviews of the 2021 ORNL MSR Workshop. By my count at least 10 companies and organizations are working on getting a Hot Pot reactor operational. We are at the dawn of the Second Atomic Age that Alvin Weinberg foretold in his book and interviews

They walked away from the "walk away safe" reactor.

The greatest gift from science to mankind a cheap effective way to cut rock, it would open up so many new opportunities.

Unfortunately you don't do real nuclear there anymore. Just play with computers. Sad :(

[@juandelacruz1520]

It's sad to say that politics hampered the future of clean and abundant energy discovered by humans.

[@CompelledFungus]

He is the reason the world isn't using Thorium liquid fuel molten salt reactors.

Yeah, Alvin, we're just going to ignore the spent nuclear fuel. You know, that trace of radioactivity you were talking about. SMH 🙄
