Thorium MSR: 21st Century Energy & Climate Solution: 20th Century Paradox

Thorium MSR: 21st Century Energy & Climate Solution; 20th Century Paradox aims to explore some elementary issues surrounding current Nuclear Energy technology, questioning the intransigence to move towards a more beneficial nuclear technology based on Thorium MSR, the obvious solution to rid us of the existing pollution paradox.

There is growing evidence that a step change is needed towards a more effective nuclear technology, away from legacy processes steeped in nuclear proliferation issues that prevent it's more open use to benefit humanity on a global scale. This is especially poignant where itâ€™s crucial to put the brakes on climate change in an effective way as possible and most effective by far, from an energy density perspective, is nuclear. But itâ€™s suffered public scrutiny too often for those decision makers to continue ignoring the outcry and opinion backlash towards overly complex systems. It is enough that nuclear technology suffers from a fear of the 'unknown' â€“ exacerbated in the technologyâ€™s complex implementation that necessitates layers of regulatory bureaucracy. This paradoxical situation clearly does not help the industry â€“ as witnessed from the continuous headline news coverage for Fukushima â€“ where the imprint on the public physique may tend towards the nuclear incident rather than the tragic loss of life from the tsunami.

In an interconnected world where we can share a common awareness at any moment through the internetâ€™s world-wide-web capable of linking every individual on the planet in a more relevant and informative way than at any other time itâ€™s evident thereâ€™s a ground swell movement in support of a shift towards this alternative Thorium MSR nuclear technology and not remain shackled to a steam driven past. The advance of technology since the industrial revolution has been remarkable in its speed with the advent of a step change in energy use borne by fossil fuels - preceded by an age of enlightenment that had its roots in an information revolution from Gutenbergâ€™s fundamental innovation revolutionising the printed word â€“ becoming available to the masses. Now in this age of instant-information, Silicon chips and computers heralding a new age of enlightenment, we causally talk about the internet of things, cloud computing and AI where everyone has a personal communicator to hand and autonomous vehicles are no longer science fiction.

In contrast nuclear is entrenched in a past technology and a conundrum exists where the appeal of far-fetched future technologies sits more comfortably than those within easier reach. It would seem the moon-shot for Fusion Reactors and the sun-shot for Solar grab the headlines (and the funding) where a blind spot exists for the more practical step of a 'walk-away' safe, more efficient, proliferation resistant, waste burning, Thorium MSR requiring no huge input power to initiate & control it - just real commitment to invest as this is far too important an issue to depend on good intentions alone. The time for a down-to-earth-shot is long overdue.

There are new decisions to be made for COP 21 and its successors to make progress. This time there can be no procrastination, the time for action is now. The most effective solution awaits those with vision that can influence the direction towards Thorium MSR with all the benefits it brings either to <> put the brakes on climate change and turn it around as quickly and effectively as possible <> or, if the climate continues to take a turn for the worst, would be a robust option for the more severe conditions that other renewable alternatives (due to their exposure to the elements) would require to cope by constant iterative upgrade to maintain reliability.

By reading the book I hope it's seen as simply logical rationale that Thorium MSR be considered as the most fundamental energy solution to secure a base-load energy technology in the interests of everyone on the planet - and not cost the earth.
