Alvin was one of my customers in the 90s I own the airport shuttle, I would pick him up at the airport and he would always be so friendly and he would remember and pick up on the conversation we had the previous trip very nice very interesting man
I’m currently watching videos that are being published from interviews of the 2021 ORNL MSR Workshop. By my count at least 10 companies and organizations are working on getting a Hot Pot reactor operational. We are at the dawn of the Second Atomic Age that Alvin Weinberg foretold in his book and interviews
He is the reason the world isn't using Thorium liquid fuel molten salt reactors. Hence, he shouldn't have been in the position in the first place and therefore why he was fired.
Yeah, there is some truth to that. The MSR came as a result of them trying to create a nuclear power plant for a plane, as I understand it. Like you, I'm shocked he said such a thing.

Wow! A remarkable story! Well told! I am so glad that I watched it.

They walked away from the "walk away safe" reactor.
How's that LFTR SMR comin up.
The greatest gift from science to mankind a cheap effective way to cut rock, it would open up so many new opportunities.

Unfortunately you don't do real nuclear there anymore. Just play with computers. Sad :(
Where's my MSR??

Can anyone suggest how I might get a job in this industry?
It's sad to say that politics hampered the future of clean and abundant energy discovered by humans.

Yeah, Alvin, we're just going to ignore the spent nuclear fuel. You know, that trace of radioactivity you were talking about. SMH 🙄
