 @b2e3a57d Thanks for the "boots-on-the-ground" info! TYFYC

No problem.

Now, if/when I talk about how back in High School, the University-Track Math/Physics/Chem students would talk about various "reactor designs", you won't think I'm either insane, or making things-up.

We were, at that time in the 80s, working-on ideas related to liquid-metal compound cooling-loops for reactors, and safety systems.

And we all knew that it was stuff that we weren't to be talking-about. 

I enjoy seeing where it's going.

Have a few friends in it.

One of my best friends went to MIT, and elsewhere, and I know he's involved in the reactor thing, (his Dad was a Senior Engineer at then E, G&G, a principal Naval Reactor Contracting firm. 

But we don't talk about that; when we talk.

He knows I KNOW we can't be talking about that. 
 @b2e3a57d I find all the new excitement around nuclear interesting. Lots of cool projects being worked on right now. 
 @f9408be4 
Definitely.

Especially the "Green-Enviro" rejection of Thorium Tech. 
 @b2e3a57d @f9408be4 flibe energy is still going...
