Molten salt reactors are the best (Score 2, Interesting)

They can run on thorium, prototypes have run for years, they use 1/100th the fuel, and they produce 1/100th the waste. Economic studies show them to be cheaper than light water reactors and even coal, they dont require fuel fabrication, and they're safer than any other breeder reactor design and all light water reactor designs. But no one seems to know about them. They keep repeating pop-sci stuff that they read about, like pebble bed reactors or the integral fast reactor.
