re: #19 JOE 🥓

Admiral Rickover designed a Thorium breeder reactor at Shippingport PA back in the 70s and I know that because Dad was involved in constructing and maintaining it. After 3 years it produced more fuel than it consumed so quite naturally that sure didn’t please the powers that be and with Carter out of office Reagan gave Rickover the boot and shut the reactor down.

Wasn’t there some kind of accident regarding a Thorium reactor up at the Santa Susana Field Laboratory near Los Angeles?
