A bit too much marketing/speculation for my taste, but exciting nonetheless – Indonesia and ThorCon continue working towards thorium reactor | NextBigFuture.com
ThorCon is a liquid-fuel fission power plant, under development in the US, to be built in a far-east shipyard, then floated to Indonesia, with testing starting in 2021. It generates emission-free electric power, cheaper even than from a coal-fired plant. Its full-time electric power will improve developing nations’ economies and lifestyles, while also dissuading them from burning fossil fuels which emit CO2.
It’s unclear to me why Boulder hasn’t placed an order.
