If Thorium is so great why haven’t we used it before? Is there a better and safer way to tap fission? If so how close are we to achieving our clean energy future? Today we get the answer.  
We discuss:  
-The best nuclear reactor to utilize Thorium 
-Light water reactors: the history, development, benefits, and drawbacks of it. 
-Why light water reactors are still the standard despite better options available 
-Light water reactor vs molten salt reactor 
-Roadblocks in building and implementing molten salt reactors (spoilers: government regulations) 
-Recent developments and the future of molten salt reactor development.
