Weapons Proliferation
UCS says all MSRs require on-site fuel processing. ThorCon nuclear reactor does not.
We need more details on this reactor.
Cost
Specs for a 500MWe plant:
Plant cost per KW (including building but not land, permits or licensing):
Operating cost per KWh (including fuel and maintenance):
Initial fuel load:
