Is Wyoming really going to be the first state with a molten salt reactor? Whodathunkit??

I love that Wymoing brings good news in these times.

    Maybe you should have read the article. This is a research facility. They built a couple of those in Germany a few decades ago but they never managed to bring the technology to maturity. There is nothing to suggest it will be different this time.

      How can you possibly say “Nothing has changed”? Material Science has come so far in the last 5 years, let alone the past 30 years, that I’m certain the problems experienced by other efforts will be quickly addressed

      Now whether or not that means this design will be immediately commercially viable is an entirely different issue, but we can’t advance forward without doing research to find out.

        That’s not what I said. I said there have been no fundamental breakthroughs that would indicate things will go different this time.

      Yikes, you sound combative. I’m excited about the facility. Who cares that research will also be done there?
