From cyberspace, from Kirk Sorensen, who is with the NASA Marshall Space Flight Center.
He would like for you to comment on the Molten Salt Reactor program.
Alvin Weinberg:
The molten salt people included the most famous figures in nuclear energy, in particular Eugene Wigner, are all dying off.
We don't have people building molten salt reactors now.
The Molten Salt Reactor Experiment was one of the most important and, I must say, brilliant achievements of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
And I hope that after I'm gone people will look at the dusty books that were written on molten salts and will say-
Hey, these guys had a pretty good idea let's go back to it.
