But Why? | Thorium and Fast Neutron Nuclear Reactors @ButWhySci | Uploaded 2 years ago | Updated 3 hours ago
Today we are discussing Generation IV nuclear reactors and the prospect of Thorium fuels and Fast Neutron reactors.

Special thanks to Ludovic Mathieu, LP2i Bordeaux (CNRS and Univ. of Bordeaux laboratory) for answering many of my questions and helping clear up uncertainties.

Thanks again to William Norberg for making the custom intro.
