I really want to high light a couple of things going on here: The first included a one-meter long complete seed and blanket assembly compatible with the VVER-1000 reactor design. The second experiment simulated conditions in Western PWR reactor designs, and was performed on a one-meter long partial seed fuel assembly consisting of 25 rods. Thorium Power's Technical Advisory Board, comprised of nuclear industry experts with long track records of designing and selling new fuels and reactors worldwide, met from February 28th to March 2nd and reviewed these results in the course of developing plans to accelerate the technology demonstration and commercialization schedule." I believe they have initial sales in place. It was NOT just Russia and the US that signed the plutonium disposition act it included Great Britain, Germany, France, Japan to name a few. Maybe the US DOD will be the last to jump on board but the cost of storage of nuclear waste and spent fuel rods is astronomical. Perhaps those governments must be more fiscally responsible. I predict THPW will be a very well known name in a very short period of time. Certainly this will have a large impact on humanity....DD
