: The article is just a starter with info I picked up from the ThorCon website. Hopefully we will get an expert to jump in and "flesh" it out. Molten salt reactors are some of the first ever built. See the MSRE (Molten Salt Reactor Experiment) back in the 1960's at Oak Ridge. For reasons controversial to this day, they decided to abandon a successful demo and go with PWRs (Pressurized Water Reactors). ThorCon is a straightforward upscale of these early reactors.

one of these has been built recently
Apparently, these are not a new idea, but are being reconsidered. See New Molten Salt Thorium Reactor First Time (in) Decades. I know next to nothing about this, but put the link here in case this might help flesh out this article. Eventually, this article could use a better introduction. Coming to it as an uninformed, undecided reader, the current intro is too sparse for me to get my bearings. Pat Palmer (talk) 12:10, 1 November 2021 (UTC)
- The article is just a starter with info I picked up from the ThorCon website. Hopefully we will get an expert to jump in and "flesh" it out. Molten salt reactors are some of the first ever built. See the MSRE (Molten Salt Reactor Experiment) back in the 1960's at Oak Ridge. For reasons controversial to this day, they decided to abandon a successful demo and go with PWRs (Pressurized Water Reactors). ThorCon is a straightforward upscale of these early reactors.
