Can Thorium nuclear reactors be totally safe and never be used for nuclear weapons? The following youtube video presented by Kirk Sorensen (Flibe Energy) makes the answer clear, straightforward and non-bias.
Within the first 6th minute mark, Kirk presented Flibe's innovative method of using the Thorium fuel cycle to provide endless clean energy including efficient nuclear waste recycling.
At the 9th minute mark, Kirk demonstrates how the same technology can be utilized to recover from nuclear waste and ore, into weapons grade material at a much faster pace, at lower cost as compared to centrifugal refining.
At the 11:25 minute mark, Kirk answers and validates the above statement directly in response to the moderator's question on weapons proliferation.
At the 15.25 and 17:10 minute mark, the better method to store nuclear waste in highly stable and non-volatile, is described. This is fundamentally correct.
At the 18:10 minute mark, the primary downside of nuclear fusion's wall blanket breeder containment design is articulated.
At the 19:20 minute mark, the applicability of Thorium fuel cycle to produce medical use of dosage controlled life-saving cancer treatment is briefly described.
At the 21.20 minute mark, the simplicity of nuclear weapons refining is further talked about in terms of electrochemistry, and how Flibe Energy is designing built-in safe-guard to make this either extremely difficult or hazardous.
The last 45 seconds of the video presentation concludes and confirms the above.
The dual salt blanket reactor topology combined with electrochemical in-situ waste removal using Bismult (actually, Bismult and tin alloy compositions have other advantages...), is a double-edged sword. Within the right custodian hands, it can solve the energy problem and nuclear waste conundrum at the same time.
