</blockquote><div><br>Eugen, this is confusing to me as well. What facts about fluoride salts of actinides or any other aspect of the universe have you posted that we are ignoring? Actually I can't seem to remember you posting more than about 3 sentences on this subject and the meaning of the 3 sentences always boils down to the same thing, it won't work but I'm not going to tell you why. In fact in one exchange you specifically said "I will not discuss this with you because of massive amounts of above BULLSHIT. Life's too short." This illustrates the reason that nuclear power technology in general and Thorium reactor technology in particular has not advanced in 40 years, most people just have a irrational and primordial dislike of nuclear power, all forms of nuclear power. The problem is that preferences based on superstition will not save the world from energy starvation, only cool logic can do that.<br>
