    Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor

    If you fish around you'll find it; Kirk Sorensen says it on one or more of his videos. Also, have a look at this: http://www.orlygroup.com/secondary_revenue_streams.html And this...

In 1965, the reactor was switched on and ran until 1969. A cadre of nuclear...
