Our son is the one who told us about LFTR. He's majoring in Computer Sci. right now, but we suggested to him that he think about Nuclear Science. He believes, and probably rightly so, that university studies and research are still stuck in the big reactor rut, and not putting any funds into research into other technologies, like LFTR.
He's also waiting to find out more about Rossi's eCat. He wants to see some genuine impartial research done on it.
If this Thorium thing is half as good as it looks to me, I’d say nuclear science and engineering could soon see a renaisance.
