2019-01-06 16:30:26 UTC  

Funi joke

2019-01-06 16:30:45 UTC  

fuck off weeb @Phoenix

2019-01-06 16:30:47 UTC  

don't understand why we don't have thorium reactors yet tbh

2019-01-06 16:30:51 UTC  

been wondering for years

2019-01-06 16:30:52 UTC  

lol

2019-01-06 16:31:02 UTC  

@T e x it's pronounced CHAD

2019-01-06 16:31:03 UTC  

aka molten salt

2019-01-06 16:31:04 UTC  

few reasons for that

2019-01-06 16:31:12 UTC  

Thorium is some shit

2019-01-06 16:31:16 UTC  

Let me tell you

2019-01-06 16:31:17 UTC  

Everyone go back to woodstoves and whale oil

2019-01-06 16:31:21 UTC  

absurdly rare isnt it

2019-01-06 16:31:41 UTC  

@soup dad I still wonder how they manage to pull a profit when there’s probably so many more expenses for that sort of thing.

2019-01-06 16:31:46 UTC  

There's a lot we could potentially do with it if we not been Tech bottlenecked

2019-01-06 16:32:03 UTC  

@Aya is that those thorium salt reactors?

2019-01-06 16:32:11 UTC  

@Leeroy tell me

2019-01-06 16:32:12 UTC  

also yes

2019-01-06 16:32:16 UTC  

they're bs

2019-01-06 16:32:27 UTC  

pls educate

2019-01-06 16:32:40 UTC  

@Aya will try an find the vid 4 u

2019-01-06 16:32:53 UTC  
2019-01-06 16:33:26 UTC  

they aren't BS

2019-01-06 16:33:32 UTC  

but they aren't practical either yet

2019-01-06 16:33:41 UTC  

but there's a resurgence in pursuit of it

2019-01-06 16:33:49 UTC  

Thorium also decays into Uranium 233

2019-01-06 16:33:51 UTC  

especially on the chinese front

2019-01-06 16:34:00 UTC  

fuck maybe I'll move to china

2019-01-06 16:34:03 UTC  

Yo real quick. Im seeing trump ads everywhere. This man is really campaigning 24/7

2019-01-06 16:34:06 UTC  

but there's a whole bunch of issues affecting thorium reactor development

2019-01-06 16:34:28 UTC  

Remind me, what’s the deal with thorium salt reactors again? The phrase is niggling something from back when I watched thunderf00t.

2019-01-06 16:35:23 UTC  

If there is one thing I could have in my lifetime before I die

2019-01-06 16:35:29 UTC  

It's would be fusion reactors

2019-01-06 16:35:34 UTC  

the main problem from what I remember is the actual loop

2019-01-06 16:35:45 UTC  

material choice was the shitter

2019-01-06 16:35:53 UTC  

even with assisted metlag

2019-01-06 16:35:57 UTC  

@Aya http://www.theblackvault.com/documents/ota/Ota_5/DATA/1978/7801.PDF thorium reactors and LFMBR's have a real problem due to corrosion and expenses

2019-01-06 16:36:09 UTC  

metlags like a loop enclosure with heatsinks

2019-01-06 16:36:32 UTC  

yeah plus the corrosion

2019-01-06 16:36:33 UTC  

thorium is a MSBR or Molten Salt Breeder Reactor

2019-01-06 16:36:44 UTC  

plus the radiation
