So the latest thing I've seen being talked about is GEM*STAR (Green Energy Multiplier*Subcritical Technology for Alternative Reactors)
http://nextbigfuture.com/2010/04/molten-salt-based-accelerator-driven.html
They claim they are leveraging the ever improving efficiencies in producing neutrons, which will result in the viable application of accelerator-driven spallation for sub-critical reactors.
Are accelerator-driven reactors in our near future, and could they even be used for propulsion? Or will the 180 meters of LINAC remain unshrinkable?
