Interesting...if it can work well and use reprocessed waste from conventional...would be a good way to utilize the stuff....just a bit more productive than burying the crap, eh...

 

thoughts?

 

Dewan believes one of the MSRs biggest advantage is the its ability to burn SNF (spent nuclear fuel – “nuclear wastes”) more or less completely, extracting 20 times more energy from uranium than a conventional reactor, producing a far smaller and far less radioactive final waste product, that will be much easier and cheaper to store, and will retain its radioactivity above background levels for only a few centuries rather than thousands of years.

"Needs no special coolant".. interesting. It'd be nice to learn more and one day soon see a scaled down working model.
