Molten salt reactors operated in the 1960s. They are seen as a promising technology today principally as a thorium fuel cycle prospect or for using spent LWR fuel.
A variety of designs is being developed, some as fast neutron types. Global research is currently led by China. Some have solid fuel similar to HTR fuel, others have fuel dissolved in the molten salt coolant.

As part of a lawsuit settlement with several consumer groups, the F.D.A. was finally forced to publicly admit that all “silver” dental filling are poisoned with mercury. These facts have been known, and covered up, for 30 years.

The problem with lying or perpetuating a scam is that you have to be aware of the spin you’ve spun to get you there.
IN the realm of climate and weather, you pray to god (or Gaia) that the prognostications and rules, as laid out by the “97%” of ‘experts’, come to fruition or go close enough to bolster your position.

Contemporary astronomy and cosmology are so burdened with abstruse mathematics and bewildering ideas that it is not surprising that any interested person, student, professional, or layman alike, finds it well nigh impossible to navigate through the vast literature, let alone gain an understanding of it.

ABSTRACT: It has been claimed in the press, based on speculations from a not even peer-reviewed report in one case, and one tabloid-like science peer-reviewed paper in the other, that the sea levels may rise of 50 cm by 2060 in Macau, and 0.91 metre by 2050 in Honolulu.

Capsules from Musk’s SpaceX, containing spare food and parts that are being delivered to the International Space Station on the company’s Falcon 9 rockets, may be doing far more harm than good, according to a new report from Wired. These deliveries – called Dragon capsules – may be contaminating the space station by outgassing the second that they arrive.
