China’s building Thorium molten salt power plants “safe clean power”

[ramset]

Thorium reactors require no water for cooling
Thorium cannot be weaponized ( yes I know anything can be weaponized (rock ....)
Just not for typical planet horror weapons.


China has been running a Thorium reactor since 2011 ?


Possible power for cars /planes ... remarkable output and air quality improvements over fossil fuels 


Anton is looking closer at Tech below

Reactor principle of operation starts around 10 min mark


Also India academy or science

We can find Thorium in many places globally.

Too bad this tech has been stalled so long. As "lightning in a can", Thorium battery technology would revolutionize every industry, and put environmentally polluting battery manufacturers out of business. The whole global network of energy cartels would have to collapse for this to happen.

to listen about world-wide ownership about atomic/nuclear/radio-active material !


We do not assume the controle :  por gratia !?


Only administration costs per Kg/KWh material/conversion !?


When I.T.E.R. electricity production ist estimated with non competititve 11 US$cents/KWh,how much the Thorium molten salt reactor


energy/electricity production costs estimation/calculation ?

I wonder how hard to experiment?


How difficult...? Teeny tiny experiments?


Cost analysis?


Energy autonomy and planets future ....


Regardless of "privileged" access to tightly held resources ..

4.1.


LCOE of a 1000 MWe MSR (20% enriched): $36.5/MWh;-LCOE of a 1000 MWe MSR is 7% lower than an equal size PWR and 9% lower than an equal size coal plant.

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149197020302511




$36.5/MWh and when we know that actually each KWh electricity mix production is in the net 8 Euro-cents/KWh range = 80 Euros/MWh


and over this net costs we as consumer find then on our bills 20-25  Eurocents/KWh = 200 -250 Euros/MWh,taxes/tributes/royaltiees/.....



with 36.5 US$/MWh cheaper than the estimated I.T.E.R. 110 US$/MWh net production costs !
