the IFR is more proven than the LFTR
The IFR is more proven than thorium reactors. We should do those first.
The Gen IV International Forum did a 2 year study of all the reactor designs.
IFR was rated #1.
How about we start with the top rated design and build it?
After all, it was OUR design and we already put $10 billion of R&D into it.
We'd have a fast reactor running today if BIll Clinton hadn't canceled the project.
