+The molten salt reactor model eliminates issues with waste by closing the fuel cycle, produces more energy, and avoid meltdowns through salt expansion. Bullis ‘13 (Kevin Bullis. March 12, 2013. Safer Nuclear Power, at Half the Price. MIT Technology Review. Senior Editor, My reporting as MIT Technology Review’s senior editor for materials has taken me, among other places, to the oil-rich deserts of the Middle East and to China, where mountains are being carved away to build the looming cities.) |
