Make the Nuclear regulatory Commission to grant licenses to 4TH generation LFTR reactors for climate/ energy reasons

Created by A.Y. on November 21, 2013

There is a solution to climate change, air pollution and the on-going energy crisis we face today. There is a form of nuclear energy that is 4 times more abundant than Uranium, yet is much less radioactive, and produces almost zero waste and can also burn waste and is 100% meltdown proof, it is called a Liquid Fluoride Thorium Reactor, the United States and the world desperately needs these reactors not just for energy production but for medical purposes as well. Uranium-233 is derived from thorium and one of the by-products of U-233 is Bismuth-213 an alpha particle that decays only once, this could allow people suffering from Leukemia and other terminal cancers to get a treatment that will only kill cancer cells.
Imagine a future where cancers are treatable and curable with cheap energy.
