Hmmm,
Sean, does your knee normally jerk like that?
You don't seem to have read the article at the URL I posted.

There was nothing in there about H2, cracking water or what have you in 
that context

Where did this come from????

Something that makes sense.

Lots of people get

The author "claims" no spent fuel as such. You're an IT man, as such I 
doubt that you have much to input on nuclear matters, except knee jerks

What has that got to do with anything? And I expect that the thievery 
went both ways.

Don't know who he is and what does plutonium extraction actually have to 
do with getting heat out of thorium.

Really, this isn't a "conventional reactor, it's based on that somewhat 
less yucky substance Thorium, which your parents may have used if they 
used Aladin Lamps or Coleman or Tilley Lamps.

You're still not making sense.

Finally!! Another statement that makes sense. Parenthetically,  when 
will you have a product or licence available for your all singing and 
dancing char-machine?



I wonder if there is anyone on this list who actually knows enough to 
make rational comments on this matter?
