This could be the energy source for the fuel cell car discussion that I have just updated.

You could make nuclear ammonia this way.  The nuclear ammonia is presumed to be cheaper than the the current conventional way of making ammonia.

The ammonia could be transported in the same way it is today, but with the end points being distribution points to locations making the ammonia for fuel cell cars.

One of the chief arguments against hydrogen fuel cells has been infrastructure.  This mode of transportation of ammonia will greatly economize on that issue by using the existing infrastructure, and adding just a little more.

Ammonia would be shipped to the end point where it would be converted into hydrogen and nitrogen.  The nitrogen would be released to the atmosphere--- no pollution.

Here is another concept for molten-salt reactors.  The interesting thing about this concept is that it burns up more transuranic waste than it produces, meaning that it can clean up waste while producing power.

I always did like this type of reactor.  Even Europeans seem to be warming up to the idea.

The biggest obstacle to commercializing these has always been government regulations.
