Interview with Driving Force Radio

Great interview. Naturally there is the requirement to cover all the basics we here at energyfromthorium already know, and I listen for tidbits to see if there is real movement forward. No real details, but generalities as stated by Baroness Worthington that there is a growing awareness and momentum politically in the UK promoting LFTRs and Kirk states there is ongoing talks with the US military. Naturally I would like to hear about definite positive steps, but at least they didn't say talks had stalled.

What this interview is missing is an antagonist or two -- and a more professional setting.

ONLY WHEN CHINA DOES THORIUM WILL AMERICA DO THORIUM. And then america will only buy chinese built micro thorium reactors.

At least the UK has reactor grade plutonium to dispose off. It could be used as a CERMET fuel with metallic thorium. You could call it an improvement on the MOX with high burn up. http://www.dae.nic.in/writereaddata/.pdf_38 It may not be a breeder (Which the UK do not want) but it could be a potential source of U233 later on.

So many times in business it is prudent to let your competitors take the expensive first steps on new products, then jump into the market with both feet. If the UK, China, even the military and others prove the concept then hopefully the rest of the US will pull its head out of the sand and get involved. I don't like this approach, but I suspect that is the path the US will take.
