TEDxNewEngland | 11/01/11 | The Future of Nuclear Power: Getting Rid of Nuclear Waste

A couple of MIT graduate students think they have invented a new way of solving the nuclear wast problem. Their presentation is full of good ideas, but you have already read about all of them on Energy from Thorium or Nuclear Green.

To my mind this seems the least useful of the MSR concepts, If your not breeding or at least converting then your squandering a valuable and vital resource (otherwise known as "waste").

This is a student project. They are on the right track, but they still have a lot more to learn. For students they are doing quite well.

I suppose it's possible that they've "simplified" what they are presenting for a non-technical audience, but if not, then they haven't absorbed much of what is available on the various technical blogs including, of course, yours.
I wish that I'd had the internet available when I was a student! I'd like to know where they found the graphic for the proposed chinese nuclear plants though!
