The PRC has initiated a research and development project in thorium molten-salt reactor technology. It was announced in the Chinese Academy of Sciences annual conference last Tuesday, January 25. "The liquid-fluoride thorium reactor is an alternative reactor design that 1) burns existing nuclear waste, 2) uses abundant thorium as a base fuel, 3) produces far less toxic, shorter-lived waste than existing designs, and 4) can be mass produced, run unattended for years, and installed underground for safety.

They are doing stuff like that and we have assholes walking around demanding that creationism be taught in science classes.


No wonder this whole thing is going the way it is.

Need any more proof they are overtaking us (the west) in leaps and bounds?

Other than the fact that the Russians used the molten salt technology on their early submarines, 40 yrs ago of course.
