China Successfully Operates World's First Thorium Molten Salt Reactor

By Haley Zaremba of OilPrice.com

An experimental Chinese nuclear plant reportedly just crossed a historic threshold, successfully operating the world’s first thorium-based molten salt reactor (TMSR). The Chinese Academy of Sciences’ Shanghai Institute of Applied Physics has broken a major scientific barrier by successfully converting thorium to uranium in a historic first.

Hi there,

I want to inform you about a very bad situation for you. However, you can benefit from it, if you will act wisely. 
Have you heard of Pegasus? 

This is a spyware program that installs on computers and smartphones and allows hackers to monitor the activity of device owners.  It provides access to your webcam, messengers, emails, call records, etc. 
It works well on Android, iOS, and Windows. I guess, you already figured out where I'm getting at.

Edward Bernays

Edward Louis Bernays (November 22, 1891 – March 9, 1995) was an Austrian-born American pioneer in public relations, widely recognized as the father of the profession for developing systematic methods to shape public opinion through psychological manipulation. As the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Bernays drew on psychoanalytic principles to influence unconscious desires, applying them in propaganda efforts during World War I for the U.S. Committee on Public Information and later in commercial campaigns for corporations.

Who Are The Real Kings?

So-called King, Donald Trump, ran in two contested Republican primaries. He ran three times in a general election. He was elected twice, and his party recently won a Republican Congress. In contrast, in 2020, Joe Biden did not run a typical campaign.

Notice there is no video from the mission at all. What a fraud...
WTF is this? Since when do women need "bodily autonomy"? Is that the same as murder of children? And since when do women need "more say" in how the society "is run", while having more "free time"?

Blabbering on tv is not the same thing as running a society. In fact, politicians don't "run the society", industrialists and operators run it. Lumberjacks run the society.

Running a society is hard work, men's work! If a woman wants to run a society, she needs to grow a pair of balls, and then "free time" will be a thing of distant dreams. WTF is "free time" anyway? My time is not free.
According to their web site, it produces 0.00000004 watts, an amount so small there isn't even a consumer device that could measure any energy output above zero, much less power anything. And it costs $5,250.00. Hence, the satellite needs solar power.

To scale this up to generate a single watt would cost $10.5B and weigh 15 tons.
Voyager 1 relies on Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) for internal power.

Because the spacecraft was designed to travel far from the Sun where solar panels are useless, it required a nuclear power source.

Key Features of the Power System

The Fuel: The system uses Plutonium-238 in the form of plutonium oxide.

Heat to Electricity: The natural radioactive decay of the plutonium generates heat. Thermocouples then convert this thermal energy directly into electricity.

The Units: Voyager 1 carries three RTGs, which are mounted together on a long boom to keep radiation away from the sensitive science instruments.

Initial Output: At launch in 1977, the three RTGs combined produced about 470 watts of power.

Current Power Status: due to the radioactive half-life of the plutonium and the degradation of the thermocouples. The power output decreases by about 4 watts every year
