To Axil, would the LFTR be able to produce the the high temps you mention (950C). According to
http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/b ... ar-thorium
China is going to be building these about as soon as the date you provide for the Indian reactor.

I like this site:

for more info on the LFTR.
(btw, Charles Barton has eyesight problems, so there are spelling mistakes in his posts because he can't see them)
http://www.energyfromthorium.com/
has a technical papers repository for the ORNL MSRE and LFTR discussion.

I think fusion will work in some or many forms eventually. I think we should be doing the LFTR (MSR) / IFR now, because we have energy problems now, and because I wish they would keep rather than blowing up the Appalachians. I still think we have a peak oil problem and will think that until I see pr...

There's a lot of oil in the tarsands but the production rate is low. There was a lot of oil in Ghawar in 1938, just like there was a lot of oil in Cantarell in 74, but there's not much left in Cantarell and it's that kind of decline that makes me wonder about Ghawar etc. Would it not be very difficu...
