Kirk Sorensen's Google Tech Talk on liquid-fluoride thorium reactors, a design that could burn nuclear waste and use thorium as fuel. It draws on Oak Ridge National Laboratory work from the 1950s and 60s.
Why HN recommends it: HN used it as the go-to introduction to LFTR and thorium reactor technology in energy threads.
