4 April 2011 – We have added new references on Molten Salt Reactor Pumps in the Selected MSR Sources Page.
There are new posts in PLAN and ENERGY COST pages. We’ve addressed the Anti-Proliferation WP in response to some questions. And we’ve added a new page, “SELECTED MSR SOURCES”, to make available the chief research we have used in this endeavour.
The rate of new construction builds for civilian fission-electric reactors essentially halted in the late 1980s, with the effects of accidents having a chilling effect . Increased capacity factor realizations in existing reactors was primarily responsible for the continuing increase in electrical energy produced during this period. The halting of new builds c. 1985, resulted in greater fossil fuel generation, see above graph.
