Dr. Joe Bonometti at TEAC3

This is a great talk for those of us who might not appreciate the overall system development environment. And it's even better than the live talk in DC, because the slide projector didn't work there.

@Roy There was a presentation of the project at TEAC3 by a PhD student in nuclear engineering at UC Berkeley http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ATd6MbiPtCI It looks interesting and may have some benefits : flexible fuel zoning, probably easier licensing (less spooky and alien than LFTR for the $273.00/hour NRC weenies), solid fuel hence easier on current radioprotection requirements, etc. Probably significantly better than its PBR cousin. But it also lacks some of the LFTR most important features, fully on-line breeding, refueling and PF removal, very simple core, ultra-high safety thanks to dump tanks (and even splatter-it-around safety, courtesy of fluoride salts' inertness, as Takashi Kamei pointed at TEAC3), etc.
