The bipartisan groups in the US congress working together with our POTUS Donald J Trump were able to pass a series of Bills that aligned national labs assets in support of wide ranging developments intended to jump start the next generation of disruptive technologies that can sustain our nations ability to maintain a capacity & capability to supply abundant electricity "the underpinning for our modern society. The only green renewable approaches that realizes affordable, reliable, predictable and pollution free electrical power stations. Domestic shale gas fueled powers stations keeps the lights on providing the bridge that enables us to embrace those disruptive technologies. Locally here in RI this dictates that we build the Burrilliville, RI Combined cycle domestic shale gas fueled power
1 station. As such the presently embraced path - continuation of subscribing to solar and wind generated electricity is an inferior approach and based on data "a road map to nowhere". Google road map to nowhere and learn about the facts.

Kirk Sorensen of Flibe Energy [flibe-energy.com] described the central role that fluorination plays in the handling of fission products in molten-salt reactors. New fluorination technology may resolve previous challenges, at the 4th MSR Workshop at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, on October 4, 2018.
U.S. Dep artment of Energy is funding new research into liquid fluoride thorium reactor (LFTR) technology. LFTRs generate nuclear power with thorium carried in a solution of molten fluoride salts, a technology advocates say is safer and more efficient than conventional uranium reactors. Flibe Energy will receive $2.1 million from DOE and $525,500 from other sources to study the use of nitrogen trifluoride to remove uranium from the nuclear fuel solution.
In a conventional solid-fueled reactors, the consumption of fuel, and the degradation of cladding material are generally the reasons the reactor must be shut down for refueling rather than the buildup of fission products.
Long-term Operation of molten-salt reactors

In a fluid-fueled molten-salt reactor, the potential exists to refuel the reactor during operation by adding fissile material to the fuel salt. The cladding degradation issue does not apply. Molten-salt reactors that use fluoride salts a
