We need Thorium reactors, no more weaponizing uranium ones

There are going to be much more reactors built with this global emission plan. It seems we are swapping one global problem with another.


Len, Thorium reactors are safer?

[Lenzabi]

Yeah Star, they have high intensity radiation only so long as the reaction is underway, so they have a lot of shielding built into the plan, and they are breeder reactors that do not use the local water supply to cool down with either, but use other means. IF there is a breach, the reaction shuts down and the Thorium goes cool and inert. At least that is what the Thorium videos were saying.

With all of that LFTR would be the wiser choice
