...separation on an MSR from what I see from a quick glance.

Concern about tritium generation has always been a concern on FLIBE based systems. (I'd be more concerned about beryllium but that's just me.)

Actually ⁶Li would supply an excellent source of helium, both isotopes as the tritium decays into valuable ³He.

It looks as if they're focusing on modest improvements in neutron economy but I can't imagine they'd see a 1.1 breeding ratio. The best I've ever heard of was 1.03 with ²³³U.

Years ago I was a FLIBE kind of guy, but those days are over.

If they go under the thorium they buy will be a fungible asset for creditors to sell. I would love to hear of the Canadians buying it, along with some of the plutonium lying around in other places.
