Nick, Chris, Thanks for broadcasting this overview for people. I think you'd be surprised at the progress Thorcon International has made with the Thorcon 500. for Indonesia. To us, cost is critical. To change the world, we must generate electricity competitive with coal-fired power plants. We've brought the website up to data. Enjoy ThorconPower.com.
The answer to the doubts about Non-Proliferation is very simple - show me one weapon of any sort - dirty, bomb, other . . .made from thorium? You Can NOT.
Thorium is found on beaches all around the world, in countries that want nuclear weapons very badly , Thorium is freely available and easily obtained - so - No weapons, anywhere for last 70 years - That is called REALITY.
No one in their right mind would make another U233 bomb. It is the worst material ever for bombs, or even dirty bombs, - we at Thorium Energy Alliance are sick to death of this utter BS.
The only thing that proliferates with this argument is disparagement and fear mongering.
I don't know if it will be commercially viable, but from a chemcial engineering perspective, I like Moltex's approach to segregate the big chemistry problem (fission products and balancing solids formation with corrosivity) in a part that doesn't mind solids, and keeping most of the heavy chemistry out of the part that does mind solids (the coolant).
Thanks. As a new subscriber, I really appreciate your in-depth research and clear explanations.

Makes it a more tractable problem...
