I noticed a feature of YouTube that I overlooked before. You can link to a video at a certain point in the video that you may want to focus on. This is useful for very long videos, which this one is, and this will allow you to focus in a particular question of interest in case you are too busy to watch all of it. With that in mind, I broke down the video into smaller pieces that will allow an interested viewer to zero in on a particularly interesting question or point.
This video is about the LFTR with Kirk Sorensen. It is in an interview format. By the way, here is demonstration of its usefulness in terms of clarifying a question someone may have which came up in the interview: What is a LFTR?
I will start with the waste issue since that is when I got the idea to do this post.
Nuclear Waste, why it is a problem and how the LFTR minimizes it by a factor of 300.
Why the nuclear waste issue is addressed with the LFTR design
Dr. Kiki summarizes the answer to the nuclear waste question
What kind of waste does the LFTR produce, why the waste is itself useful for exploring space and in medicine?
The entire video can be seen from the beginning below:
Update:
Here's some more links for your perusal:
Where's the technology currently? Within the next ten years, can we see LFTRs being put together?
What would the costs be for a LFTR?
Are LFTRs really safe? Isn't all radioactivity inherently unsafe?
This isn't a question, but a statement by Sorensen that nuclear waste isn't really waste. See his video on this that he mentions.
Update:
"Kiki, you are going to love this story".
