Russia is already building those beginning with Akademik Lomonosov, and the US used to have a prototype called the MH-1A in the 1960s
Thorium reactors floating..... Indonesia is very interest. If I remember correctly they already made a deal.... 500mW installations.
The Netherlands has a working Thorium reactor, but is, like other countries, trapped in the nuclear regulatory nightmare.
The 8 gas - turbine-installations can be swapped, and that saves a lot. However, due to the fact that electricity is tied to the world's oilprice......
Liberalization of the market and now this. Very convenient.
These thorium reactors are very safe and you could fly a 747 into them several times, no sweat. The design is indeed from the end 50/early 60.
And it works differently than a uranium-cake based system.
The resultant waste has a half life of 200 years. This would be advantageous where it concerns storage.
It could be perceived to use that in nano-diamond batteries, providing electricity to smaller needs, like homes, offices, shops, laptops, etc.

The nano-diamond batteries are interesting, but use carbon-14 as the radioactive isotope. This is not produced in power reactors.
Correct.
I am quite hopefull we can find some sort of solution there.
