Comment on Bill Gates-backed nuclear contender Terra Power aims to build dozens of UK reactors

I’d cheer if it was Thorium. Uranium is only going to get more expensive. And I worry Bill is only after the tech that goes into UK submarines powered by these small RR reactors.

Thorium is nowhere even close to being a viable technology. Even at the most optimistic estimates (that are somewhat based in reality) it’ll be multiple decades until this stuff can make an impact. We don’t have that kind of time.

I accept that. But if were Thorium I’d be jumping up and down with pompoms.
