Energy From Thorium: A Nuclear Waste Burning Liquid Salt Thorium Reactor
Energy From Thorium: A Nuclear Waste Burning Liquid Salt Thorium Reactor Video Clips. Duration : 82.15 Mins.
Kirk Sorensen's Tech Talk, delivered at Google on July 20, 2009. Successfully developing a liquid-fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) would essentially solve our planets energy problems for thousands of years, because it would allow us to fully utilize the energy in natural thorium, which makes up 0.0012% of the Earths crust. Most of the research and development work for this technology was done by Oak Ridge National Labs back in the 50s and 60s. They were working to a different set of overall objectives, nevertheless, there are many lessons to be gleaned from their work that can help us to avoid pitfalls and develop LFTR into a high-performance, high-reliability power supply.

LFTR in 5 Minutes - THORIUM REMIX 2011 - An energy solution.
LFTR in 5 Minutes - THORIUM REMIX 2011 - An energy solution. Tube. Duration : 119.98 Mins.
thoriumpetition.com Thorium is readily available & can be turned into energy without generating transuranic wastes. Thorium's capacity as nuclear fuel was discovered during WW II, but ignored because it was unsuitable for making bombs. A liquid-fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) is the optimal approach for harvesting energy from Thorium, and has the potential to solve today's energy/climate crisis. LFTR is a type of Thorium Molten Salt Reactor (Th-MSR). This video summarizes over 6 hours worth of thorium talks given by Kirk Sorensen and other thorium technologists. THORIUM REMIX 2011 starts with a 5 minute TL;WL summary, to hold you over until you find your Ritalin. YouTube Closed Captioning is available in English, and many other languages. To learn more about the Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor visit: energyfromthorium.com See THORIUMREMIX.com for full list of multimedia source material.

Kirk Sorensen - A Global Alternative (thorium energy via LFTR) @ TEAC4
Kirk Sorensen - A Global Alternative (thorium energy via LFTR) @ TEAC4 Tube. Duration : 39.18 Mins.
thoriumremix.com Kirk Sorensen for harnessing the power of the atom using Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactors (LFTR). LFTR offers greater efficiency and safety over today's operating reactors, and even proposed light water / boiling water reactors. LFTR also provides spare processes heat and valuable isotopes as a byproduct of normal operation, something today's reactors can not, due to their low operating temperature. Topics emphasized by Kirk at TEAC4: - Economic and political situation of medical isotope production and applications. - Use as a reliable energy production method of US military bases explained in their jargon. - Desalination enabled by the high temperatures possible when using ionic salts instead of covalently bonded molecules to transfer heat. Kirk Sorensen's talk was one of many at Thorium Energy Alliance Conference #4 in Chicago. Kirk Sorensen is working on LFTR development at Flibe Energy: Flibe-Energy.com
