Although the LFTR looks amazing on paper, and early Oak Ridge research, it is quite a jump from the typical NPP. Do you think it would be more likely to see existing designs (CANDU in particular) be converted to a Thorium cycle as opposed to a LFTR new build?

Less interesting questions: The design you are focusing on in your movie, is that a brayton or rankine cycle? What sort of outlet temperatures and thermal efficiency can be expected?

Is there any sort of strategy for acquiring start-up fuel? As far I know, U233 would need to be bred from existing reactors and reprocessed; which poses quite a non-proliferation dilemma.

Wouldn't it be possible to extract the bred U-233? That could definitely be used in a bomb.
