-> Wow! I haven't thought about thorium since I last read Admiral Bob's
"Rocket
-> Ship Galileo" (published in 1947) which posited using a thorium reactor
to heat
-> zinc reaction mass to power a rocket to the moon. Amazing how forward
thinking
-> some of that "escapist trash" was.

Here are two rather more lengthy and scholarly debates among
actual nuclear physicists and current individuals in
the pressurized light water reactor field.

One runs just under one hour and the other 1 hour 22 minutes
with my preference being the latter 82 minute version.

I've got that local to my hard drive now.

As I say, these convinced me to reverse my 25 year opposition to nuclear
reactors due to their quite effectively addressing long term waste issue
as well as being far lower in cost as compared to  LWR's

Since you seem interested these are more in depth and comprehensive
as well as going into more technical detail that the brief video I
previously posted.
