We've talked about Thorcon's MSR in Indonesia being what will most likely be the first commercial molten salt reactor to come to market and how China is pushing full steam ahead into building MSRs. But what is going on in the world of molten salt reactors/nuclear energy in the West? Enter Terrestrial Energy. A Canadian nuclear startup looking to build an integral molten salt reactor, or IMSR, and have it hit the market by 2028. It uses uranium tetrafluoride as fuel and would be a single fluid burner reactor. In addition, Canada is funding GE Hitachi's BWRX-300 SMR, which has agreements with utility companies in the U.S., Poland, Estonia, and the Czech Republic to explore commercial deployment. #terrestrialenergy #nuclearenergy #moltensaltreactor #cleanenergy Check out our community tab for channel updates: https://www.youtube.com/c/RockLogicWithSeanKenny/community Rock Logic now has merch!!

Clean coal, no more landfills, abundant drinking water, cheaper and more efficient cars, cheaper gasoline, and curing cancer. What do all of these have in common? They are all side effects of using thorium and the molten salt reactor! In this episode of Rock Logic, we discuss the applications of using thorium and the MSR: -Cleaner, cheaper coal to be used as liquid fuels -Turning landfills into synthetic natural gas -Help makes America a dominant figure on the global stage for oil drilling and refineries -Provides load following for intermittent renewable energies (solar and wind) In addition, we discuss the fringe benefits of using the MSR: -Cheaper aluminum -Excess heat waste desalinates water for free, leading to cheaper and more abundant water -Byproducts are rare medical isotopes used in curing cancer -Future tech: can be used in space exploration and terraforming. Thorium can give humanity clean, pollution-free energy. Be sure to subscribe for next week’s episode, where we talk about rare earth elements - what they are, how they're mined, and the national security issue that comes with current government restrictions on them. 0:00 Introduction to the Subject 1:25 Energy sources used today 2:31 Fossil fuels and renewables work with Molten Salt Reactors 3:20 Coal turned into liquid fuels to power cars using MSR 7:02 Natural gas from trash/eliminating landfills 8:08 Petroleum/Oil processing and powering refineries with MSR 9:33 Solar and Wind Renewable Energy using MSR as load following 12:53 MSR can run on light water reactor nuclear waste 14:00 Aluminum and Steel Manufacturing 15:20 Water Desalination 16:09 Medical Isotopes used in curing cancer 17:05 Nuclear energy in space exploration 19:32 Wrap up #thorium #moltensaltreactor #climatechange #cleanenergy #nuclearenergy

If Thorium is so great why haven’t we used it before? Is there a better and safer way to tap fission? If so how close are we to achieving our clean energy future? Today we get the answer. We discuss: -The best nuclear reactor to utilize Thorium -Light water reactors: the history, development, benefits, and drawbacks of it. -Why light water reactors are still the standard despite better options available -Light water reactor vs molten salt reactor -Roadblocks in building and implementing molten salt reactors (spoilers: government regulations) -Recent developments and the future of molten salt reactor development. 0:00 Intro 1:04 Thorium and the Molten Salt Reactor 1:40 Nuclear Energy in the United States/History of Light Water Reactors 3:31 How does a light water reactor work? 7:50 How does a Molten Salt Reactor work? 10:33 Status of Molten Salt Reactors around the world 11:45 Private Companies working with MSR - Flibe, Thorcon 13:41 Breeder Reactors/LFTR Subscribe to us on Youtube and Spotify (https://open.spotify.com/show/2NBF4wOIVg5ygCY5iEJk7F) to be notified when we post next week's episode, where we talk about how thorium and the molten salt reactor can be applied in today's already existing energy infrastructure.

Is thorium the solution to climate change? It might be. A thorium-powered molten salt nuclear reactor is the cheapest, most reliable, and safest energy we could produce and with very few carbon emissions. This technology is so energy-dense that it can end our reliance on foreign fossil fuels and enriched uranium, leaving little to no radioactive nuclear waste, unlike with our standard light water nuclear reactors. 0:00 Intro 1:32 Sean's background in alternative energy 2:29 Sean's first reaction to thorium 4:13 What is Thorium 5:19 Thorium as an energy source 7:46 The Rise of Nuclear Energy/Molten Salt Reactor 10:25 Thorium as one of the reasons Earth can sustain life 11:17 Why people are taking another look at thorium today #Thorium #MoltenSaltReactor #ClimateChange #NuclearEnergy

This week on Rock Logic, Sean theorizes what would happen in a doomsday scenario if humanity needed to abandon planet Earth. Would we colonize Mars? Have free-floating space colonies? Are those our only options? But what about Venus? Is colonizing Venus possible? Sean says yes, and explains why it's the best option. #venus #mars #spacecolony #spacecolonization #podcast

This week on Rock Logic, Sun Cable is planning on building the largest solar farm in the world in Australia and shipping said Solar Energy over 4,000km away to Singapore. Is this the best use of Singapore's resources, or is there a better way? Meanwhile, nearby Indonesia and Thorcon power have chosen a location for their molten salt reactor on the island of Paulu Gelesa near Bangka.

Today on Rock Logic with Sean Kenny, Sean discusses Helion Energy's nuclear fusion reactor, Helium 3 as a nuclear fuel, and using both the moon and other planets as a source of nuclear energy as is discussed in Robert Zubrin's The Case for Space.
