Molten Salt Reactors and Thorium Energy
Professor Dolan’s book is the most comprehensive compilation of what’s been going on in the genuinely “advanced “reactor R&D business that I’ve yet seen. Its contributors include most of the best minds in that field & I’m hoping that their efforts will eventually result in a “nuclear renaissance” ’ capable of addressing the rest of this century’s peak oil, peak gas, peak soil/agriculture, and “climate change” issues.
