Molten-salt reactor "news"

Thorcon news ( not exactly news, but what the heck). I've sorta followed Thorcon for years now. I first heard of it on the Thorium Energy Alliance. I have the link on my private blog, but I made no note of it. Besides, it is out of date. Too bad about that if they aren't active anymore. But this Thorcon news is fairly recent. Maybe six months old.
