GENERATION IV NUCLEAR REACTORS

Nuclear energy is one of the key technologies going forward because it is virtually emission-free and produces a huge amount of reliable energy. Unfortunately, there are public perception problems related to safety, waste management, and costs. The fact that modern nuclear technology is a major improvement over older nuclear technologies is often ignored and the poor image of nuclear power perpetuates. Nuclear innovation is important, and emerging technology milestones must be more frequently communicated to the public. One such option is Thorium Molten Salt Reactors (TMSR), which dates from the 1960s. TMSR has experienced a resurgence of interest to be considered a new technology today. The video below demonstrates its many benefits, particularly safety and cost.

Based on the available literature the overall finding is that TMSR concepts will provide clean, safe, and cost-effective energy for sustainable development. One question, therefore, is why TSMR was not further developed in the 1960’s? In short, Hyman Rickover, de facto head of the US nuclear program, wanted the plutonium from uranium-powered nuclear plants to make bombs. Hence, Thorium Molten Reactors (TMSR) were not allocated funds for further development.

In Jesus’ coming Millennial Kingdom, people like Hyman Rickover will not be allowed to stifle projects like TSMR, which will be a significant benefit to mankind.
