  1. The Chinese have a working Pebble Bed reactor. And a Thorium Molten Salt Reactor.

  4.  @KevinBalch-dt8ot  ?? Does the US have a competitive attitude and capability when it comes to nuclear power? No and No. But China does.

  7.  @Meton2526  I heard "nuclear" was a glorified razor blade business. Give them the plant, sell them the fuel.

  12.  @Meton2526  The problem is the West is distracted with this stupid renewable energy cr*p and doesn't not have a competitive economic attitude or spirit. (And only 35% of NYC public school graduates can do math at grade level. The Chinese know this and laugh.)

  13.  @Meton2526  Have you watched the long Kirk Sorenson video on Thorium, PWRs (Pressurized Water Reactors) vs. molten salt, etc. ? ("burning dirt" vs. "burning platinum"?)

  14.  @Meton2526  As of June 2023, the price of low-enriched uranium (LEU) was $2,700 per kilogram, A 1-gigawatt nuclear power plant can require around 27 tonnes of uranium fuel each year, 27 tonnes x 1000 kg/tonne x $2700/kg LEU = 72.9 million U.S. dollars

  15.  @Meton2526  How about NATURAL uranium at ~$50 a pound?

  16.  @Meton2526  Kirk Sorenson talks a lot about the simpler/cheaper machinery needed in a molten salt reactor -- no high pressure water, no water at all, not much of a containment vessel.

  18.  @janus3555  East Asians k--- our a-- in everything that involves work. Do you know Temu? Do you know any Americans that could come close to producing that AT ALL, let alone competitively priced from 12,000 miles away?

  19.  @SuperDrake85  There are youtubes that say they have working pebble bed and thorium molten salt reactors up and running.
