The traveling wave reactor is another form of a liquid metal fast breeder reactor.

Babcock amp Wilcox that make nuclear reactors, here's an integral fast reactor.

This is really good! This was the genesis of the idea of the fast breeder reactor, a reactor that was based around having fast neutrons and plutonium fuel.

It's an important advance, but it's like a fast reactor, and a lot of countries have built them, so anybody who's done a fast reactor is a candidate to be where the first one gets built.

So they put all their chips fast breeder reactor and that didn't work out too well for them.

I have some good friends in nuclear industry. They are very big advocates of the fast breeder reactor.

This is the kind of reactor we want to build and everybody who is pushing plutonium said, No, no, no, we want a fast reactor, that's the only way to do it.

So that's what happened to fast breed reactor in the United States, a couple of countries kept going with it.

They had invested very heavily in an alternative technology, the plutonium fast breeder reactor based on solid fuels and turning abundant uranium 238 into plutonium 239 and then burning it in the reactor.

The liquid fluoride thorium reactor.

Even the plutonium inside the reactor is what's called reactor grade plutonium, which isn't suitable.

A big pressurized water reactor vessel.

I'm working on that exact reactor.

This is a small modular reactor.

So it's a molten salt reactor.

And this reactor doesn't use water.

They shut down the main reactor.

These guys aren't deterred, they said, Well, here is what we'll do, we'll just build a fast reactor, because look how good it gets in the fast region, wow, it gets above two, three, wow!

I'm not the biggest fan of plutonium because I'm not crazy about the plutonium fast breeder reactor, but there's nothing good or bad about plutonium.

This was the Hanford reactor in Washington.

Thorium reactor that Nathan Myhrvold's involved in.

This region right here is the reactor.

Compared to the reactor 3 building, the removal of debris from the reactor 4 building is making headway.

That's what makes it that you cannot burn up uranium 238 in a thermal spectrum reactor like a water cooled reactor like a CANDU or like a water reactor.

Heat was not being removed from the reactor.

The shaft leads directly to the reactor system.

They didn't know if it would work, so this built this proof of principle reactor, called the Aircraft Reactor Experiment.

Why weren't they using the power from the reactor to run the pumps? Because the reactor had been turned off.

An earthquake damaged a nuclear reactor somewhere in Asia, causing an overheating to the reactor and infecting the surrounding area.
