Das Paul Scherer Institut arbeitet mit Copenhagen Atomics zusammen, um ab diesem Jahr ihren neuen Thorium-basierten Salzschmelze-Reaktor in Würenlingen zu testen.
Während die meisten Menschen der Kerntechnologie sehr ablehnend gegenüberstehen, wissen wir auch, dass wir wirklich neue Kraftwerke brauchen, die nicht auf fossilen Brennstoffen basieren. Wir haben schon sehr lange auf die Fusionskraft gewartet und sie ist noch lange nicht reif.
Ich bin kein Experte für Nukleartechnologie und das Marketing vermittelt den Eindruck, dass sie nicht so gefährlich sei.
Daher interessiert mich Ihre Meinung (aber nicht Ihre spontane Reaktion): Was denken Sie?
What's your opinion on the new nuclear test facility in Würenlingen?

Thorium remains me the norvegian tv show :Occupied.
I think it can be a solution while waiting for fusion.
Nice that research is happening here. From videos I’ve seen of the nuclear waste processing facility here, it appears standards and competence are high.
Thorium reactors would be a nice and save fission technology with an abundance of fuel. But I think it’s too late for this to be useful.
Solar energy is exponential for 50 years, doubling every 2-3 years. We are only a a couple of doublings away from covering the global energy needs.
No one is apparently seeing this coming, but I think it will kinda make everything else obsolete. Because of overproduction even cheap inefficient batteries will be competitive with conventional power plants.
There is simply no way nuclear can compete anymore.
I found this funny:
Why is the experiment not being conducted in Denmark?
In Denmark, there is no legal framework for the operation of nuclear facilities, i.e. no competent licensing and supervisory authority that could independently review and approve the construction and operation of such a test facility.
Good, we need more research and people with know how regarding nuclear energy.
The past 30 years of anti nuclear hysteria have decimated the industry, research and workforce.
