Thorium in Fluid Fuel Reactors

Not available in non us countries? Any link? Archiv?

Thank you for all the effort you made in making this book available in such convenient format, and at such a small price. I'm looking forward to reading my copy.

thanx

Ima bout to rek dis thorium liquid fuel reactor nonsense.
Problemo 1. Tellurium (a 233 fission product) deposits in alloys weakening the pipes and walls by migrating in between grain boundaries and allowing cracks to form.

Problemo 2. Fuels using Lithium salts must be 99.99% of the lithium 7 isotope otherwise you'll have craploads of tritium gas and that is hydrogen, which weakens metals. Only two countries have the industrial capacity to perform isotopic separation of lithium. Russia and China. USA banned the most economic method due to its use of mercury and I doubt Trudeau would let something like that be built.

Problemo 3. If a thermal spectrum reactor is used what will you do with your graphite? It will have a mean lifetime of 8-10 years and will have absorbed many radionucleides during that time.
Problemo 4. Any alloy using chromium in it with a fluoride based salt will have problems with the chromium being swiped and leaving "holes" in the structure.

I just bought the eBook for $3

LFTR is John G.A.L.T..

Ive been following you for sometime and was pleasantly surprised to have this video come up as ad for another unrelated science video today. I guess I am going to be buying a new book!

The link provided to Amazon was even to a Kindle Unlimited..so I am reading it for free!!

Gordon, can't thank you enough for getting THE BOOK digitized.This will afford the public the opportunity to study material that failed to capture the attention of anyone in Washinton. It only took 11/ 12 years of effort by SK squared ( Sorenson,Kennedy,Kutch) to get the DOE/NRC to begin to support the new generation research with at least a token amount of monetary support. I have a question on an ancillary topic. In 1980 the DOE/NRC reduced the radition threshold for source materials to the point that it destroyed our rare earth industry. Why?

What can we the average citizen do to help get this going in the United States?

Currently I am collecting money for making a fusion reactor. India do have thorium reactor program and they have tested it successfully although many more tests to come in upcoming year before it passes for commercial purposes
