This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive. ~

The liquid fluoride thorium reactor (acronym LFTR; spoken as lifter) is a thermal breeder reactor which uses the thorium fuel cycle in a fluoride-based molten (liquid) salt fuel to achieve high operating temperatures at atmospheric pressure. The LFTR is a type of thorium molten salt reactor (TMSR). Molten-salt-fueled reactors (MSFRs) such as LFTR, where the nuclear fuel itself is in the form of liquid molten salt mixture, should not be confused with only molten-salt-cooled but solid-fueled reactors. This technology was first investigated at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory Molten-Salt Reactor Experiment in the 1960s. It has been recently investigated by Japan, China, the UK, and private US and Australian interests. Flibe Energy aims to develop a small modular reactor version using liquid FLiBe salt.

because it doesn't work well enough yet
