Another pair of scientists claim they have achieved cold fusion. Doubful but lets hope it's true. http://peswiki.com/index.php/Directory:Andrea_A._Rossi_Cold_Fusion_Generator P.S. Obama believes cold fusion has something to do with Meechelle.
LOL....The first sentence says it all.... Eng. Andrea A. Rossi and Professor Sergio Focardi of the University of Bologna...
This is the latest news on the LENR experiment. http://pesn.com/2011/01/19/9501747_cold-fusion-journals_warming_to_Rossi_breakthrough/
Far more interesting for nuclear power than all this cold fusion nonsense is China's announcement of a development program for thorium fueled molten salt reactors: http://energyfromthorium.com/2011/01/30/china-initiates-tmsr/ Molten salt thorium fueled reactors potentially have many advantages over current uranium fueled thermal reactors including: * Near atmospheric pressure operation avoiding the need for expensive high pressure vessels. * Very high fuel burn up with plenty of thorium for thousands of years. * Very small high level waste stream safe after a few hundred years * Higher temperature operation leading to better thermal efficiency * Very safe with very simple, elegant safety systems. * Highly resistant to weapons proliferation The US has very few years left before it's lead in nuclear engineering and technology is gone forever.
