My question is, "how can we use Oak Ridge to isotopically separate lithium 7 and lithium 6". If Oak Ridge can separate u235 from u238, think how much easier and faster would the reaction work between 6 & 7, than between 235 & 238. It would seem to me that Oak Ridge should be making tons & tons of lithium 7 right now, because the future of our nation depends on not fusion "pie in the sky", reactors, but cheap, clean, chemical & electrical future without tritium production. It should also NEVER downblend u233 as that will be the fuel of the future and the more of it our nation possesses the better for "we the people". Molten salt flibe reactors with lithium 7 is our future no matter what the fusion enthusiast's think or do. As fusion power reactors will be super expensive and produce tons of tritium no matter how it works, and tritium is a "no go". If it can be locked up with fluoride for long term with safeguards OK, if not we don't want it in our drinking water.

Is there any interest in handling particles in these salt melts, for example to keep control of the process and its temperature? We can sort or filter out particles completely naturally without any filters from 10 nanometers in all temperatures. I also think we can divert different gases with the same technology. See my channel for with info and links.

I personally am interested in the idea of forming a carbon suspension in the fuel salt to replace the need of solid graphite. A carbon suspension would be “flexible” and fluid, unlike a swelling graphite block. I imagine it’ll be abrasive though. Just an idea I had

One would expect any video on this subject to at least mention the molten salt reactor China claims to have already built in the Gobi desert and comment on its technology and its efficiency.

The interest in this video should be increasing as more people realise the power/ safety of the MSR reactor type

I'm always surprised how slow the progress is, it seems like we are still rediscovering knowledge we have lost/forgotten since the MSR experiment was shut down.

MSRE did a lot, but easy to overstate how much they knew. Modern techniques are much more powerful and portable. However, modern MSR research is also being done on a shoestring. It's impressive that it can happen at all.

@@sealpiercing8476 There was recently an interview with the major industrial investor here in Sweden. He said he would be very interested in investing in nuclear power if the politicians only could guarantee that rules will be set and not suddenly change after the next election. And I don't think that's going to happen. Sadly enough.
