Perhaps you're confusing them with fluorine?

Yep.

With 1000K you can basically do anything, water splitting, Fischer-Tropps, Haber...

I saw in one of your presentations that you did not plan to use water as a working fluid to run the generator turbines. Did I understand that correctly? What do you plan to use instead?

How hot does an LFTR run? I was wondering what kind of industrial processes that can run directly on the heat from the reactor rather than on electricity from the plant's generators.

Anything with "fluoride" in the name makes me nervous... How toxic is the FLiBe molten salt mixture? And how do you pronounce Flibe?

Can the reactor burn other isotopes than 233 U?

edit: Are you interested in funding from small (very small) investors :-)

LANL's project Green Freedom estimates a pump price for artificial gasoline from a standard nuclear plant at about $3.50 per gallon.

Approximately how small can the smallest useful LFTR be? Small and light enough to be lifted by a Falcon 9 or similar rocket?
