China Nuclear. June: Thorium breakthrough; July: Small Modular Reactor breakthrough

One of these Small Modular Reactors could supply the whole of Canberra, Australia’s capital. And outback communities. And desalination plants in Adelaide. And ships. And small communities everywhere. And offshore communities. Zero CO2, safe, baseload power. 

Last month I posted about China’s thorium reactor

And yet, as I listen to Australia ABC they report that Victoria has become a “nuclear free” state. Sanity-free. For goodness sake. 

“Ling Long” (玲龙) means “Tinkling Dragon”. Cute, I guess; but also kind of silly. Kinda Panda-ish.
