Is Wyoming really going to be the first state with a molten salt reactor? Whodathunkit??

I love that Wymoing brings good news in these times.

Fantastic. Worked so well last time round. It’ll be just another white elephant that gets abandoned after a while because it turns out, the technology isn’t any more viable than it was thirty years ago. And then the state will be left to deal with the horrific toxic mess it leaves behind.

You come across as triggered so I’ll only add that reactors tend to operate longer than they’re originally designed for. They’re not “abandoned after awhile”

Don’t forget, my lemon, we all want the same thing. A safe and healthy planet to live on.

Maybe you should have read the article. This is a research facility. They built a couple of those in Germany a few decades ago but they never managed to bring the technology to maturity. There is nothing to suggest it will be different this time.
