There is a fuel design that can transmutate Plutonium currently in late stage development that is a drop in replacement for low enriched uranium fuel in current pressurized water reactors. It is being developed by Thorium Power Ltd from a design successfully tested in the Shippingport nuclear reactor in the 1970’s. The government should not be wasting money on wind or solar power or modifications to the grid to facilitate their implementation. They actually constitute de …
